EXPERT SYSTEM FOR TUMOR REGISTRY

描述(改编自申请人的摘要)：目前 拟议的研究旨在开发一个原型专家系统，该系统 将协助肿瘤登记员执行他们的病例发现和 抽象的职责。此系统的用户界面将是 基于Windows的鼠标控制图形用户界面，具有以下功能 无论是新手还是经验丰富的注册员，都可以轻松使用。这个 这个系统提供的设施将与现有的设施相辅相成 商业肿瘤登记软件，其主要目的是 一旦发现案例并提取决策，即可自动执行注册操作 已由司法常务官作出。专家系统将处理数据(在 登记处信息的来源)。专家 系统将结合概率推理来解释 源数据中的不确定性，并融合由 独立的推理路径。专家系统的知识库 将来自两个来源：有经验的肿瘤知识 在知识工程会议期间获得的注册人，以及各种 发布管理登记处业务的标准和准则。这个 原型有望作为开发一种 综合登记员助理，可能具有以下附加功能 质量控制和注册员培训。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract): The presently proposed research is intended to develop a prototype expert system that would assist tumor registrars in the performance of their case finding and abstraction duties. The user interface to this system would be a windows-based, mouse-controlled graphical user interface with features to make it easy to use for both the novice and seasoned registrar. The facilities provided by this system would complement those of existing commercial tumor registry software, which is primarily intended to automate registry operations once case finding and abstracting decisions have been made by the registrar. The expert system will process data (in electronic form) that are the sources of registry information. The expert system will incorporate probabilistic reasoning to account for uncertainties in the source data, and to fuse conclusions arrived at by independent paths of reasoning. The knowledge base of the expert system will be derived from two sources: the knowledge of experienced tumor registrars obtained during knowledge-engineering sessions, and the various published standards and guidelines which govern registry operations. The prototype is expected to serve as the basis for development of a comprehensive registrar's assistant, with possible additional features of quality control and registrar training.
