Abstract :
In the interpretation of cerebral functional images such as PET (positron emission tomography) and SPECT (single photon emission CT), well-trained neural networks provide effectively diagnostic information. In this paper we discuss how to make use of a priori knowledge in the use of neural networks for the diagnostic analysis of cerebral functional images.
