OVERVIEW OF MDX - A SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • MDX, an experimental medical diagnosis system, currently diagnoses in the syndrome called Cholestasis. The needed medical knowledge is represented in a scheme called conceptual structures, which can be viewed as a collection of conceptual experts interacting according to certain well-defined principles. MDX has three components: the diagnostic system, a patient data base and a radiology consultant. The authors describe these components, the inter-expert communication system and the query language used by these components. The system is illustrated by means of its performance on a real case.
