An information-theoretic pattern recognition method was used to construct descriptive models of data related to 1,674 radioisotope lung scan referrals for the purpose of assessing lung scan influence on diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism. It was observed that, relative to other clinical information available prior to the scan, the lung scan significantly improved the ability of the models to predict diagnostic and management outcomes, implying that the lung scan has significant influence on these clinical decisions.
为了评估肺部扫描对肺栓塞诊断和治疗的影响，采用了一种信息论模式识别方法来构建与1674例放射性同位素肺部扫描转诊相关的数据描述模型。研究发现，相对于扫描前可获得的其他临床信息，肺部扫描显著提高了模型预测诊断和治疗结果的能力，这意味着肺部扫描对这些临床决策有显著影响。
