These areas all pose questions of particular research interest. For each area the book includes a chapter giving an overview of the subject and then presents several papers where leading specialists discuss their experiences with particular projects in addressing these problems. The book will be of interest to those in medical artificial intelligence and in medical computing in general, as well as to expert system designers in other fields."--Publisher description (LoC).
