Computer-Aided Diagnostic Tool for Identifying the Cause of Dementia

即使是一名合格的临床医生，诊断痴呆症的原因也往往很困难。我们设计了一个计算机辅助诊断系统来确定痴呆症的病因。该系统包括七个二元分类器，每个分类器判断专利的表现是否与特定疾病相似；这七个分类器针对导致痴呆的七种典型疾病。我们希望进一步研究该系统，以优化分类器中的参数，并提高其诊断性能。

Diagnosing the cause of dementia is often difficult even for a qualified clinical doctor. We contrived a computer-aided diagnostic system for determining the etiology of dementia. The system incorporates seven binary classifiers in which each of them judge whether the patent's manifestations are similar with a specific disease or not; these seven classifiers are for the representative seven diseases causing dementia. We would like to further investigate the system to optimize the parameters in the classifiers and to improve its diagnostic performance.
