pubmed:abstractText
An otoneurological expert system was developed to help collect data and diagnose both central and peripheral diseases causing vertigo. Patient history and otoneurological and other examination results are used in the reasoning process. The case history data can be either mandatory or supportive. Mandatory questions are used to confirm a diagnosis, and conflicting answers are used to reject an unlikely disease. Supportive questions support or suppress a diagnosis, but their presence is not obligatory. The reasoning procedure of the otoneurological expert system scores every question independently for different diagnoses, depending on how well they agree with the symptom entity of a disease. Diagnostic criteria are set for each disease. Graphic displays illustrate the linear and nonlinear correlation between the symptoms and diseases. Emphasis is placed on diminishing the possibility of a wrong decision rather than maximizing the likelihood of reaching only one right decision, so that even rare diseases can be taken into consideration.
