Special Issue On Medical Diagnosis Systems
Guest Editors:

Introduction
From the early 1970s, several diagnosis systems were introduced to assist physicians in the diagnosis process. Most of these systems were focused on concrete artificial intelligence techniques related to statistics and probabilistic-like Bayesian networks, probabilistic reasoning, and so forth. Today, there are several new artificial intelligence techniques that can be fully exploited to help the research and development of clinical decision support systems oriented to diagnosis. This diagnosis process can be of several types depending on the scope that appears to be covered: from the diagnosis of very concrete pathologies to the diagnosis of the most common diseases.
Objective of the Special Issue
The idea of this special issue is to invite researchers in the eHealth field, as well as those related to the development of diagnosis systems in medicine covering novel techniques of diagnosis, to submit their work. This special issue aims to receive research papers containing accurate evaluation, data validation, and innovation about the techniques used (new techniques, mixed techniques, etc.). Special attention will be paid to those papers where the research discusses the development of diagnosis systems to help general practitioners or to those medicine specialties that most literature fails cover.
Recommended Topics
Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Computer-aided diagnosis
- Evaluation methods of diagnosis systems
- Evaluation and/or comparative of actual diagnosis systems
- Hand-held computing applications in medicine
- Knowledge-based & decision support systems
- Medical databases & information systems
- Multimedia biomedical databases
- Signal and image processing in medicine
- Telemedicine systems
- Use of AI techniques to the generation of multidisciplinary diagnosis systems
