Medical data preprocessing for increased selectivity of diagnosis

  • Andrzej Walczak EMAIL logo and Michał Paczkowski

Abstract

In this review, we present a framework that will enable us to obtain increased accuracy of computer diagnosis in medical patient checkups. To some extent, a new proposition for medical data analysis has been built based on medical data preprocessing. The result of such preprocessing is transformation of medical data from descriptive, semantic form into parameterized math form. A proper model for digging of hidden medical data properties is presented as well. Exploration of hidden data properties achieved by means of preprocessing creates new possibilities for medical data interpretation. Diagnosis selectivity has been increased by means of parameterized illnesses patterns in medical databases.
