Abstract:
PULMONOLOGIST is a prototype expert system designed as a decision-making aid for physicians in providing accurate diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. Disease information in the system has been encoded in the form of rules and schemata. The system has been developed using the expert system building tool ART (Automated Reasoning Tool) from Inference Corporation. This paper gives a brief introduction to the expert system concept, and includes a detailed description of the diagnosis system. This system will be tested against clinical data in future studies.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
