Course detail

Computer-Aided Medical Diagnostics

FEKT-MPA-PRMAcad. year: 2023/2024

The course is oriented ot the use of artifficial intelligence in medicine. It is focused on computer-aided medical diagnostics, principles of decision making in medicine, work with uncertainty in medical data, reasoning under uncertainty, principles of fuzzy representation of uncertain information, and structure of expert systems. Students will get experimental knowledge in programming of expert systems.
