Abstract

As more health-care providers invest on computerised medical records, more clinical data is made accessible, and more clinical insights will become reliable. As data collection technologies advance, a plethora of data is available in almost all domains of one´s life, being of particular interest to this work that of medicine. An area of particular interest is that of medical diagnosis based systems for computer tomography.
