CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Computerized Aided Medical Diagnosis system is used to diagnosis various diseases. In medicine, diagnosis is the process of identifying a medical condition or disease by its signs, symptoms, and from the results of various diagnostic procedures. The conclusion reached through this process is called a diagnosis. The term “diagnostic criteria” designates the combination of signs, symptoms, and test results that allows the doctor to ascertain the diagnosis of the respective disease.
However, it has two distinct dictionary definitions. The first definition is “the recognition of a disease or condition by its outward signs and symptoms, while the second definition is “the analysis of the underlying physiological/biochemical cause(s) of a disease or condition
Typically, a person with abnormal symptoms will consult a physician, who will then obtain a history of the patient‘s illness and examine him for signs of disease. The physician will formulate a hypothesis of likely diagnoses and in many cases will obtain further testing to confirm or clarify the diagnosis before providing treatment. Medical tests commonly performed are measuring blood pressure, checking the pulse rate, listening to the heart with a stethoscope, urine tests, fecal tests, saliva tests, blood tests, medical imaging, electrocardiogram, hydrogen breath test and occasionally biopsy
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Owing to:
The difficulties in detecting some sicknesses.
Complex system of human being.
Inability of Doctors to know the actual cause of alignment.
Risk involve in prescribing drugs based on assumption.
The need arise for the development of Computerized aided medical diagnosis system that will enable doctors solve these problems.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The main purpose of this study is to develop Computerized aided medical diagnosis system that will show the organs of human heart and also gives detail information about them. The program has to show the pictures of both the internal and external organs.
