Computer Aided Localization Of Neurological Diseases, Yusuf Parlar

Dissertations

Computers in medicine has brought new dimensions and better understanding of uncertainties in the field of medical sciences in the last decade. This thesis is focused upon the localization of neurological lesions in the human nervous system. It relates clinical neurological test outcomes to pathways of function or malfunction. Certain methods are proposed-empirical. stochastic. Deterministic-to estimate the spatial distributions of lesion probabilities.

First. a Bayesian model is presented to estimate the posterior probability of lesion from a priori information, based on the test outcomes. Due to unavailable data alternative methods and models are presented: Regression Analysis. Monte Carlo simulation, and …
