A Neural Network that Learns to Interpret Myocardial Planar Thallium Scintigrams

The planar thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scintigram is a widely used diagnostic technique for detecting and estimating the risk of coronary artery disease. Neural networks learned to interpret 100 thallium scintigrams asdetermined by individual expert ratings. Standard error backpropagation wascompared to standard LMS, and LMS combined with one layer of RBF units.
