Use of neural network computer technology in the determination of therapeutic strategy in patients with stomach and duodenal ulcer

: The authors present the expert neural network programmed complex "Axon" allowing the prognosis of the course of ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum to be made. On the basis of the prognosis obtained certain medical strategy can be recommended. The neural network in which the data of treatment of 909 patients with ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum had been introduced was taken as a basis of the complex. The program is registered in the Russian copyright agency for PC programs, data base and topologies of integrated circuits. The authors consider that the approach proposed will allow the correct medical policy to be chosen which can lead to better results of treatment of patients with ulcer disease and thus the 100 years long contradictions between different specialists in determining medical policy for such category of patients will be overcome.
