METHODS OF COGNITIVE ANALYSIS IN MEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF DSS-TYPE

Abstract

This paper demonstrates that AI methods, in particular linguistic mechanisms of semanticmeaning reasoning can be applied to the development of intelligent IT systems. They enablealso conducting an in-depth meaning analysis in the presented DDS information systems.This paper presents also IT mechanisms of object meaning description on selected examplesof spinal cord image analysis. The procedures for such semantic reasoning are based on themodel of cognitive resonance. They have been applied to the task of meaning interpretationof a selected type of central nervous system diagnostic images, as an intelligent analysismodule in IT systems. The application presented in this paper is of research character and itserves the preparation of efficient lesion detection methods applied to a dataset originatingfrom magnetic and resonance examinations of the spinal cord structures.
