Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy Systems in Medicineprovides a thorough review of state-of-the-art techniques and practices, defines and explains relevant problems, as well as provides solutions to these problems.
After an introduction, the book progresses from one topic to another - with a linear development from fundamentals to applications.

Chapters discuss:

a historical perspective of fuzzy systems technology and neuro-fuzzy systems technology in medicine and biology

the relationship of fuzzy logic to the human brain

analysis and classification of signals using fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy, and wavelet methods

wavelet analysis combined with neuro-fuzzy systems in contouring gated SPECT images of ventricles

a detailed application based on a knowledge-based system that uses fuzzy techniques, multispectral analysis, and image processing algorithms

applications in the field of dentistry

a dedicated system for myocardial ischemia diagnosis

a typical expert system used in intensive care units

designing and tuning fuzzy rules for medical diagnosis

knowledge processing, decision-making, and control strategies combined with control methods in medical equipment

current technological problems and trends in the neural and fuzzy hardware implementation field
The well-balanced chapters cover all the major fields in medicine and biomedical engineering, including imaging, prosthetics, psychology, medical equipment, diagnosis, and treatment.
