GUIDING DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS THROUGH INFORMATION MAXIMIZATION

摘要

A system (100) and method for diagnosis and treatment decisions based on information maximization is disclosed. Utilizing patient information (102) as well as clinical records from other patients (103) can reduce the uncertainty (210) in both diagnosis and treatment options. The information maximization (310) may consider additional data such as cost (408), risk and comfort (404) in making a proper medical decision (316).
