ABSTRACT:
A method of diagnosing breast cancer by generating an inference system having a predetermined number of nodes organized into a tree of cliques. After the inference system is initialized, an evidence vector is created and initialized. The evidence vector is then customized or updated by receiving patient-specific evidence. This updated evidence vector is then propagated through the inference system to determine a breast cancer diagnosis. While determine the breast cancer diagnosis, the system can estimate the influence of each piece of patient-specific evidence on the diagnosis. Thus, the system is capable of not only determining and reporting a breast cancer diagnosis based upon patient-specific evidence, but also determining and reporting the estimated influence of each piece of patient-specific evidence considered.
