Reseña del editor:

Computer technology has impacted the practice of medicine in dramatic ways. Imaging techniques provide noninvasive tools which alter the di­ agnostic process. Sophisticated monitoring equipment presents new levels of detail for both patient management and research. In most of these tech­ nology applications, the computer is embedded in the device; its presence is transparent to the user. There is also a growing number of applications in which the health care provider directly interacts with a computer. In many cases, these appli­ cations are limited to administrative functions, e.g., office practice man­ agement, location of hospital patients, appointments, and scheduling. Nevertheless, there also are instances of patient care functions such as results reporting, decision support, surveillance, and reminders. This series, Computers and Medicine, will focus upon the direct use of information systems as it relates to the medical community. After twenty-five years of experimentation and experience, there are many tested applications which can be implemented economically using the current generation of computers. Moreover, the falling cost of computers suggests that there will be even more extensive use in the near future. Yet there is a gap between current practice and the state-of-the-art.

Reseña del editor:

The book contains a collection of current papers in the field of medical artificial intelligence. The contributions center on the following three topics: the use of causal models in medical expert systems; the problems of knowledge acquisition and knowledge verification in medical expert systems; and the problems of evaluating medical expert systems. These areas all pose questions of particular research interest. For each area the book includes a chapter giving an overview of the subject and then presents several papers where leading specialists discuss their experiences with particular projects in addressing these problems. The book will be of interest to those in medical artificial intelligence and in medical computing in general, as well as to expert system designers in other fields.
