Abstract

An expert system for the diagnosis of stenoses in the three main coronary arteries (left anterior descending, right coronary artery and circumflex) is described. First, the knowledge base domain--201Tl scintigrams--is explained and the method of preprocessing the original heart images is given. Next, the method of dealing with the uncertainties present both in the cardiologist-specified rules and the data using the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is explained. Finally, the constructed expert system and the results are discussed and several graphical examples are shown.
