PAINULIMPAINful or impaired Upper LIMb Nathan Wilds
PAINULIM • Perform diagnosis on patients suffering from painful or impaired upper limbs due to diseases of the spinal cord and/or PNS • Clinical Examination • Electromyography (EMG) Data • Nerve Condition Studies
Diseases • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis • Parkinson’s Disease • Intrinsic Cord Disease • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Root Disease • Anterior Horn Disease • Others
Bayesian Network • Bayesian Belief Network based system • MSBN - Multiple sectioned Bayesian network • Uses natural localization existing in domain to decrease computational cost • Also limits outcomes not anatomically involved
Bayesian Network • Contains 83 variables representing 14 diseases and 69 features, each of which has 3 possible outcomes. • Multiply connected • 271 arcs with 6795 possible Values
Conclusions • Use of Bayesian Network • Works well with several hard to diagnose diseases • Can have huge patient base and localize information to reduce cost
