Computer assistance for C.T. scan interpretation and cerebral disease diagnosis
Abstract:
This paper describes the development and use of a system to aid in the radiological interpretation of C.T. scan images of patients with cerebral disease. The system is able to provide guidance, both on diagnosis and the need for further scan investigations. Explanation and help facilities, similar to those found in certain rule-based expert systems, are available on demand. Diagnostic and other advice is, however, based on hard statistical data. The scan interpretation and diagnostic system offers important benefits in the training of less experienced radiologists.

Computed Tomography
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...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
