A simple expert system shell for microcomputer-aided radiographic diagnosis
Abstract:
A simple microcomputer-based expert system shell for radiographic diagnosis is described. The system interrogates the user by means of a simple question--and-answer approach on the radiographic findings in a given case and proffers a differential diagnosis from a database. The system also allows listing of both the radiographic findings pertinent to a specific diagnosis and all diagnoses in which a particular finding or combination of findings occur. The system database can be easily updated or modified by the user. The demonstration application for the expert system shell is the plain film diagnosis of osseous dysplasia.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
