Computer assistance for C.T. scan interpretation and cerebral disease diagnosis.

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.

CT: to enhance or not to enhance: A computer-aided study.

Statistical analysis was performed of the carefully coded results of computed tomographic scans, with and without contrast medium, of a substantial group of patients with proved diagnoses. Bayesian methods were used to provide computer-aided diagnoses with considerable success. Further analysis of these results suggested that expert advice can be provided by the computer concerning which patients would benefit diagnostically from enhancement after their plain scan description has been fed into the computer.
