Ultrasound in Medical Diagnosis [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysics Bulletin, 1984
Abstract Diagnostic ultrasonography uses high frequency sound waves of frequencies from 2–15 mHz. These are propagated in pulses into the tissues by a transducer in contact with the body surface. The pattern of their reflection is detected by the same transducer and can be used to construct a sectional image of the tissues and organs under the body ...

Problems of Medical Diagnosis

Methods of Information in Medicine, 1978
The present bibliography aims at informing and stimulating researchers when studying the multiple facets of medical diagnosis. The complexity of investigation in this domain can be judged by the fact that papers dealing with medical diagnosis do not appear in medical journals only.

The Misuse of Race in Medical Diagnosis

Pediatrics, 2003
I am a 39-year-old Hispanic male born in Stockton, Calif, to a mother who—after many years of unwise eating—has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and to a father I didn’t know who floated away at the end of a needle in his sister’s garage. I prefer being called Mexican to Hispanic, though I’ve never been to Mexico.

Methods for Medical Diagnosis

1994
The main tasks of the clinician (diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and ongoing monitoring) are not distinct entities. For example, one possible test for a diagnosis is to make a presumptive diagnosis of a disease, treat for that disease, and monitor to see whether the patient is cured.

Microcomputers in medical diagnosis

Proceedings of the ACM 1980 annual conference on - ACM 80, 1980
A program for performing differential diagnosis on a microcomputer has been developed, utilizing a pattern recognition algorithm. The present configuration allows for input of 15 symptoms of 3 values (present, absent, or unknown), and compares the patient's symptom profile with 50 patterns which point to as many as 10 disease designations.

Medical Diagnosis Chair

SSRN Electronic Journal
This research study is introducing new medical equipment, which is called a medical diagnosis chair, as a tool for reducing error due to misunderstanding between Doctor and patient. Protecting the rights of patents and doctors in case of medical error in diagnosis or therapy.

Intelligent systems in medical diagnosis

1999
From an intelligent system for a computer supported medical diagnosis it is expected to achieve high accuracy and ability to draw conclusions from a small data sets. Medical practice could takes many years to generate a large database. A new mathematical method that is able to learn on a small data set is presented.

Ultrasonics in medical diagnosis

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1979
Beginning with the wave equation, the characteristics of ultrasound are described in terms of propagation, reflexion, beam formation, scattering and attenuation. In medical diagnosis, ultrasound in the low megahertz frequency range is both generated and detected by piezoelectric transducers. At these frequencies the wavelength is in the order of 1 m m ;

Cybernetics and Medical Diagnosis

Soviet Review, 1961
This article (Izvestia, November 14, 1960) provides additional information on Soviet applications of cybernetics in medicine, treated briefly in an earlier issue of The Soviet Review (see article by S. Iarmoliuk in December 1960 issue).
