Neuro-Fuzzy Nets in Medical Diagnosis: The DIAGEN Case Study of Glaucoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents an approach to the automatic interpretation of the visual field to enable ophthalmology patients to be classified as glaucomatous and normal. The approach is based on a neuro-fuzzy system (NEFCLASS) that enables a set of rules to be learnt, with no a priori knowledge, and the fuzzy sets that form the rule antecedents to be tuned, on the basis of a set of training data. Another alternative is to insert knowledge (fuzzy rules) and let the system tune its antecedents, as in the previous case. Three trials are shown which demonstrate the useful application of this approach in this medical discipline, enabling a set of rule bases to be obtained which produce high sensitivity and specificity values in the classification process.

Comparing diagnosis of depression in depressed patients by EEG, based on two algorithms :Artificial Nerve Networks and Neuro-Fuzy Networks
Background and aims: Depression disorder is one of the most common diseases, but the diagnosis is widely complicated and controversial because of interventions, overlapping and confusing nature of the disease. So, keeping previous patients’ profile seems effective for diagnosis and treatment of present patients. Use of this memory is latent in synthetic neuro-fuzzy algorithm. P...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease using Neuro-fuzzy-based Method
Background & Aim: Coronary artery disease is one of the most common diseases in different societies. Coronary angiography is established as one of the best methods for diagnosis of this disease. Angiography is an invasive and costly method. Furthermore, it is associated with risks such as death, heart attack, and stroke. Thus, this study introduces a neuro-fuzzy-based method which can help the ...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Expert System & Neuro-Fuzzy System Using Soft Computing For Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Diagnosis
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a kind of diabetes that requires persistent medical care in patient self management education to prevent acute complications. One of the common and main problems in diagnosis of the diabetes is the weakness in its initial stages of the illness. This paper intends to propose an expert system in order to diagnose the risk of GDM by using FIS model. The knowl...
متن کاملComputational Intelligence for Medical Knowledge Acquisition with Application to Glaucoma
This paper presents an approach that integrates computational intelligence/soft computing paradigms with clinical investigation methods and knowledge. Computational intelligence methods (including fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic algorithms) deal in a suitable way with imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth. These aspects can be found quite often in practical medical activities and ...
