Abstract: A medical expert system for the diagnosis of abnormal vaginal bleeding named as ABVAB had been reported. This paper will describe the recent development of ABVAB and its clinical evaluation. The overall testing results are quite satisfactory in spite of the limitations of time and small domain.

The paper also analyses the relative degrees of importance of the history and physical examination data in making a medical diagnosis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
