Research Abstract |
Diagnosing the cause of dementia is often difficult even for a qualified clinical doctor. We contrived a computer-aided diagnostic system for determining the etiology of dementia. The system incorporates seven binary classifiers in which each of them judge whether the patent's manifestations are similar with a specific disease or not; these seven classifiers are for the representative seven diseases causing dementia. We would like to further investigate the system to optimize the parameters in the classifiers and to improve its diagnostic performance.
