title: Planning diagnostic imaging work-up strategies using case-based reasoning.
abstract: ISIS is a developmental decision support system that helps physicians select diagnostic imaging procedures. It uses case-based reasoning, an artificial-intelligence approach that emphasizes reasoning and planning from prior experience. The development, training, and evaluation of a prototype system were used to guide the development of ISIS. To realize a clinically useful system, particular emphasis has been placed on increasing the depth and breadth of case-based knowledge, enhancing the explanatory capabilities of the system, and refining the human-computer interfaces to include a critiquing approach.
