Expert systems in medicine

The emergence of the artificial intelligence (AI) in computer technology and its application in the medical field enables the researchers to carry out such intelligent activities like image processing, medical reasoning systems, clinical decision supporting and natural language understanding, etc. A gastroenterological expert system application is briefly demonstrated in this paper. Similar expert systems can be seen to be useful in the research of gastrointestinal cytoprotection, including the plan of different compounds with cytoprotective effect, experimental and clinical medical research.
