Abstract
Decision support system (DSS) aims to provide accurate diagnosis over a considerably short period of time, of those chosen diseases which are not only highly infectious but are also diagnosed through various cumbersome and time consuming tests. These tests may include microscopic examination of tissues, blood or body fluids and other relevant biochemical tests. Apart from consuming a lot of time, the expenses of these tests may be well out of the reach of many patients. The chosen diseases: Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Lung Abscess, Simple Pneumoconiosis are quite common in developing and under developed countries and pose a great threat to the health of other individuals as well. Their prompt diagnosis and complete and proper treatment is essential not only to cure the infected individual but also to prevent the spread of the diseases amongst other individuals. DSS aims to reduce the time consumed in merely diagnosing the disease which further prevents the early commencement of medical treatment. DSS will produce a sound diagnosis using the signs and symptoms of the relevant diseases. Thus, DSS will make use of Artificial Intelligence; specifically two combined techniques: Case Based Reasoning and Rule Based Reasoning, in order to diagnose the chosen lung diseases.
