[An automated system for evaluation of gastric motor function in duodenal ulcer]

The researchers of the Department of Medical and Biological Cybernetics and Hospital Surgery Department No. 2 of the Russian State Medical University have developed the first stage of an automatic diagnostic system to evaluate gastroduodenal motor function by intracavitary multichannel manometry. The system makes diagnostic syndromal conclusions by using an expert approach and statistic data analysis. The percentage of correct diagnoses was 92 and 80%, respectively. The system may be useful at multidisciplinary hospitals, diagnostic centers, and specialized gastroenterological care facilities.
