Abstract: | Making a medical diagnosis consists of correlating knownpatterns of disease with the various classes of clinical data elicited from the history, physical examination, and batteries of tests relative
to the diagnostic dynamics symbolized by atree branching into the various possible diagnostic decisions. In this paper a relational mathematical model of the reasoning
aspects of the conventional medical diagnostic process is suggested as a way of extracting a general, formal concept of medical
diagnosis. Computer implementation of the model is discussed briefly. |
