An expert system for medical decision making in hepatology has been developed with the aim of assisting medical education. The knowledge representation is based on different slots respectively concerned with structural and protypical description, and system control. Reasoning is performed at two levels considering in sequence syndromes and diseases. Explanations are available at any time during the reasoning process. Educational facilities are provided by using the help sections of the system, which include definitions and descriptions of finding in both health and disease, as well as summaries defining essential clinical and pathophysiological features of all diagnostic hypotheses. The system provides the following educational functions: support to medical decision making, differential diagnosis, knowledge-base consultation, system description and clinical simulation. A good correspondence was found between the conclusions and suggestions provided by the system and those of the attending physicians. The program, which was written in PROLOG and developed under MS-DOS Operating System, runs on IBM-compatible personal computers equipped with hard-disk and mouse.
为辅助医学教育，已开发出一种用于肝病学医学决策的专家系统。知识表示基于分别涉及结构和原型描述以及系统控制的不同插槽。推理在两个层面上进行，依次考虑综合征和疾病。在推理过程中的任何时候都可提供解释。通过使用系统的帮助部分提供教育设施，其中包括健康和疾病状态下检查结果的定义和描述，以及定义所有诊断假设的基本临床和病理生理特征的总结。该系统提供以下教育功能：支持医学决策、鉴别诊断、知识库咨询、系统描述和临床模拟。发现该系统提供的结论和建议与主治医生的结论和建议之间有良好的一致性。该程序用PROLOG编写，在MS-DOS操作系统下开发，运行于配备硬盘和鼠标的IBM兼容个人计算机上。
