Category: Medical

Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems in Medicineprovides a thorough review of state-of-the-art techniques and practices, defines and explains relevant problems, as well as provides solutions to these problems. After an introduction, the book progresses from one topic to another - with a linear development from fundamentals to applications. Chapters discuss: a historical perspective of fuzzy systems technology and neuro-fuzzy systems technology in medicine and biology the relationship of fuzzy logic to the human brain analysis and classification of signals using fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy, and wavelet methods wavelet analysis combined with neuro-fuzzy systems in contouring gated SPECT images of ventricles a detailed application based on a knowledge-based system that uses fuzzy techniques, multispectral analysis, and image processing algorithms applications in the field of dentistry a dedicated system for myocardial ischemia diagnosis a typical expert system used in intensive care units designing and tuning fuzzy rules for medical diagnosis knowledge processing, decision-making, and control strategies combined with control methods in medical equipment current technological problems and trends in the neural and fuzzy hardware implementation field The well-balanced chapters cover all the major fields in medicine and biomedical engineering, including imaging, prosthetics, psychology, medical equipment, diagnosis, and treatment.
