Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the innovative use of computers in medical diagnosis, focusing on sequential decision-making. The author argues that a computer program equipped with an inference function and a test selection function can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis by simulating the process used by human doctors. The book explores the challenges and opportunities of computer-aided diagnosis, examining the development of a program that balances the costs of testing and the risks of misdiagnosis. Through extensive experimentation, the author demonstrates that the sequential approach employed by the program leads to a substantial reduction in the number of diagnostic tests required while maintaining a level of accuracy comparable to that of experts in the field. The book concludes that sequential decision-making is a promising strategy for computer-aided diagnosis, offering the potential to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce the burden of diagnostic testing.
