A review on intelligent methods used in medicine and life science

Published: 25 February 2011 Publication History

Abstract

This paper reviews the research on expert systems, designed as aids to medical decision making. Because complex medical decisions are often made when major uncertainties are present and when the stakes are extremely high, expert systems are ideally suited for decision analysis. Over the last 50 years, many medical expert systems have been developed. Motivations for the development of expert systems in medicine have been numerous. Assisting physicians in making diagnosis and treatment recommendations is the most commonly found application of expert systems in medical science.
