Are Neural Networks Helpful In Medicine?

1.	Are Neural Networks Helpful In Medicine?
Answer» Yes of course… Electronic noses: ANNs are used experimentally to implement electronic noses. Electronic noses have several potential applications in telemedicine. Telemedicine is the practice of medicine over long distances via a communication link. The electronic nose WOULD identify odors in the remote surgical environment. These identified odors would then be electronically transmitted to another site where an door generation system would recreate them. Because the sense of smell can be an important sense to the surgeon, telesmell would enhance telepresent surgery. Instant Physician: An application developed in the mid-1980s called the “instant physician” TRAINED an auto-associative memory neural network to store a large number of medical records, each of which includes information on symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for a PARTICULAR case. After training, the net can be presented with INPUT consisting of a SET of symptoms; it will then find the full stored pattern that represents the “best” diagnosis and treatment. Yes of course…
