Of Technology Modelling the Diagnostic Process

Machine Learning in Stepwise Diagnostic Process

The diagnoses of many diseases have become increasingly complex. Many results, obtained from tests with substantial imperfections , must be integrated into a diagnostic conclusion about the probability of disease in a given patient. A practical approach to this problem is to estimate the pretest probability of disease, and the sensitivity and speciicity of diierent diagnostic tests. With this i...

Diagnostic judgmental confusion and process-reactive schizophrenia.

On the basis of the similarity of brain-damaged Ss to process schizophrenics and judgmental studies of the amount of confusion in thinking exhibited in Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Similarities (C-V-S) test protocols for such Ss, 3 out of 4 predictions of diagnostic judgmental errors in judging global C-V-S test protocols were confirmed. 45 PhD clinicians, with a minimum of 4 yr. clinical exp...

System 3 diagnostic process: the lateral approach

The process of obtaining diagnosis is described as a dual-process model, including the intuitive process, and the analytical process. The similarity between the two systems is that they both infer a diagnosis from patient-derived information. Here we present another process by which to elicit the diagnosis: asking direct questions of the patient themselves, such as "What do you think is the cau...

Diagnostic Process Optimisation with Evolutionary Programming

In paediatric cardiology a database and the supporting information system are indispensable in order to conduct more extensive and detailed investigations. Diagnostic decisions during the diagnostic process in congenital heart disease (CHD) must be supported by suitable decision support system. In the majority of children with CHD, the diagnosis should be possibly made before the complete diagn...
