Domain knowledge may be used in medical applications to avoid wrong decisions and also to be able to make a correct decision for strong working diagnosis and partly for therapeutic purpose. In this paper, Case Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology has been applied by combining with ontology for implementing case-based medical diagnostic knowledge structure. The development of knowledge repository for...
Diagnosis of Hridroga (cardiac disorders) in Ayurveda requires the combination of many different types of data, including personal details, patient symptoms, patient histories, general examination results, Ashtavidha pareeksha results etc. Computer-assisted decision support systems must be able to combine these data types into a seamless system. Intelligent agents, an approach that has been used chiefly...
Automated medical diagnosis systems based on knowledge-oriented descriptions have gained momentum with the emergence of Semantic Descriptions. However, soundness and efficiency of the underlying logics in these descriptions are critical to harness the potential of these systems. In this paper, we provide a well-structured ontology for automated diagnosis and a three-fold formalization based on Predicate...
The systematic method used to identify diseases is a called differential diagnosis (DDx). It is mostly used by healthcare professionals to diagnose a specific disease in a patient. If the disease is diagnosed, the method could be used to recommend the medications in order to receive treatment. The goal of the current paper is to design a system based on semantic Web technologies to a system with the...
The differential diagnosis (ddx) is a systematic method to identify unknowns. This method, essentially a process of elimination, is used by taxonomists to identify living organisms and by physicians to diagnose the specific disease in a patient. One important point is the enormous amount of knowledge that doctors are required to possess, in order to be able to make a correct ddx. The main problem...
The unified medical language system (UMLS) offers the possibility to use annotated medical terms for computer aided diagnoses system (CADS). We present a new semantic fusion system, based on UMLS. This fusion system has applications on a CADS that diagnoses neurodegenerative diseases. Since the UMLS Metathesaurus contains a huge amount of data, classification and extraction of the data we use is necessary...
Service-oriented Grid technologies are increasingly utilized for the realization of future biomedical IT infrastructures since they offer unprecedented opportunities for the integration of advanced analysis and simulation applications as well as distributed heterogeneous data sources and information systems. The European Union's @neurIST project is developing a Grid-based IT infrastructure for the...
