Claim One:
1. A method implemented on at least one machine each of which has at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for computer aided medical diagnosis, comprising: obtaining, from a user via a user interface, identifying information to be used to obtain medically-related information; obtaining, automatically via a search engine, the medically-related information from different sources based on the identifying information; automatically forming, via a dynamic diagnostic decision matrix platform, a plurality of hierarchically arranged matrices of diagnostic information in a hierarchy, where a matrix at each level in the hierarchy is an assembly of organized medically-related information and generated by dynamically fusing different types of medically-related information from lower levels of the hierarchy, and each node in the hierarchy embeds a tool that can be activated when the diagnostic information is displayed; modifying, via the dynamic diagnostic decision matrix platform, diagnostic information stored in at least one of the plurality of hierarchically arranged matrices; updating, via the dynamic diagnostic decision matrix platform, the at least one hierarchically arranged matrix based on the modified diagnostic information stored therein to form updated hierarchically arranged matrices; and computing, via the machine processor, a medical decision based on the updated hierarchically arranged matrices of diagnostic information, wherein diagnostic information at any node of any level in the hierarchy is accessible and can be manipulated by the user interactively based on a data manipulation tool embedded with the diagnostic information, diagnostic information at a level of the hierarchy can be dynamically fused with that at a same or a different level of the hierarchy based on a tool embedded with the diagnostic information, and a result of the fusing is propagated within the hierarchy.
