Method and apparatus for supporting the diagnosis of a disturbed object and for selecting a finding (3-5) characterizing the object state (1). Each finding (3-5) is described by a severity (27), a feature constellation (6-8) of a plurality of features (9-11), and by a graphical representation of the feature constellation (6-8) as a visual disturbance image (43). In each disturbance image (43-45), each feature (22-24) is represented by a symbol (12), the coordinates (31, 32) of which are determined by the feature type (13) and by a subjectively perceived importance with regard to the disturbance-generating cause. A dialogue-based visual modelling of the object state (1) is provided, for which purpose the object state (1) is modelled by a current feature constellation (21). The current feature constellation (21) is represented as an object image (41) and in this case each feature is represented by a symbol (12). A feature (22-24) of the current feature constellation is graphically added by means of an input device (17). The current object image (41) based thereon is graphically output directly on the display device (18). After any change, a comparison device (16a) directly compares the current feature constellation (21) with the feature constellations (6-8) of stored findings (3-5) and updates the findings list of possibly applicable findings. The findings list is sorted with regard to similarity taking particular account of the severity of the findings. A proposal list of further features to be examined is output in a manner sorted according to the differentiation thereof in order to facilitate the diagnosis interactively. |
