Computer Aids for Decision Making in Diagnostic Radiology: A Literature Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review looks at a variety of different ways in which computers can be used to assist in the interpretation of radiological images and in radiological decision making. The issues involved in the design of computerised decision aids are introduced and four criteria proposed for evaluating such aids: need, practicality, veracity and relevance. These criteria are used to assess research into decision aids based on: image databases, numerical methods, expert systems, image processing and image understanding systems. Possible directions for research leading to aids of practical value are discussed in the conclusion.
