Decision Support System for the Diagnosis of Urological Dysfunctions Based on Fuzzy Logic

  • Conference paper
Book cover Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

In this article a fuzzy system with capabilities for urological diagnosing is proposed. This system is specialized towards the diagnosis of urological dysfunctions with neurological etiology. For this reason the system specifies all the neural centres involved in both the urological phases, voiding and micturition. The fuzzy system allows to classify every dysfunction of all patients by means of their membership functions. The results of the experiments show that the fuzzy approach allows the diagnosis of urological dysfunctions from the relationship between neural centres and their associated neurological dysfunction.
