An approach of soft computing applications in clinical neurology

Abstract

This paper briefly introduces various soft computing techniques and presents miscellaneous applications in clinical neurology domain. The aim is to present the large possibilities of applying soft computing to neurology related problems. Recently published data about use of soft computing in neurology are observed from the literature, surveyed and reviewed. This study detects which methodology or methodologies of soft computing are frequently used together to solve the specific problems of medicine. Recent developments in medicine show that diagnostic expert systems can help physicians make a definitive diagnosis. Automated diagnostic systems are important applications of pattern recognition, aiming at assisting physicians in making diagnostics decisions. Soft computing models have been researched and implemented in neurology for a very long time. This paper presents applications of soft computing models of the cutting edge researches in neurology domain. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
