Neural Networks And Expert Systems In Medicine And Healthcare - Proceedings Of The Third International Conference

Interest in medical expert systems, neural networks and other artificial intelligence techniques is on the increase as more healthcare providers realise their potential, and engineers and scientists are discovering that medicine and healthcare are very fertile areas for developing new, or applying existing, intelligent algorithms to real problems. Intelligent systems make it possible to capture expert medical knowledge and to discover new knowledge so as to improve in-patient monitoring, data analysis and decision making, and hence the quality of healthcare.This book contains features which include: neural networks and expert systems techniques, as well as medical neural networks and expert systems. It should be of interest to managers, academics, engineers, scientists and medical practitioners involved in the funding, development and use of intelligent medical systems.
