چکیده
The practice of medicine has evolved rapidly of the last 50 years. Due to these advances, the number of parameters that are presented to the medical professional have expanded beyond the capacity for complete analysis by healthcare professionals. Medical data is complex and includes a number of different representations including written notes, numeral data, and images. An automated analysis must not only deal with the multiple data types but must also be able to consolidate all results related to possible diagnoses and treatment options. In this paper several independent methods of analysis are unified into a comprehensive approach to automated medical decision making. It is illustrated with a specific example in diagnosis of congestive heart failure.
