Neuro-fuzzy systems in medicine

Neuro-fuzzy systems are widely used in both applied and experimental medicine and are one of the most modern subjects of today´s Medical Informatics. Despite the initial refuse of their use due to informatical, economical, educational and other reasons, these systems are widely accepted in medical institutions operating in all levels of healthcare. The accuracy of some up-to-date neuro-fuzzy systems today matches or even surpasses the diagnostic abilities of physicians, thus holding an important role in risk-assessment and diagnostics in medicine. This work deals with newer applications of these systems in medicine along with the possibility of their implementation in the region of Central Europe.
