Abstract

See full text

A system for diagnosing medical conditions, such as low back pain (LBP), is provided, whereby a neural network is trained by presentation of large amounts of clinical data and diagnostic outcomes. Following training, the system is able to produce the diagnosis from the clinical data. While the present invention may be useful in diagnosing LBP in one embodiment, other applications of the present invention, both in the medical field and in other fields, are also envisioned. This intelligent diagnostic system is less expensive and more accurate than conventional diagnostic methods, and has the unique capability to improve its accuracy over time as more data is analyzed.
