✦ Synopsis

This paper describes the current state of a project to establish an expert system for the diagnosis of brain tumours. Expert systems for the diagnosis of diseases have proved their worth in various specialist fields (notably jaundice and abdominal pain).

The basis of this system is a data base consisting of coded Computer Tomography (CT) scans of patients with known disease. For the diagnosis of a new patient the CT scan is coded and used in conjunction with the data base.

The current system is a prototype which has been developed on a microprocessor system and is being evaluated against the expert radiologist for diagnostic accuracy.
