Bayesian Network Bayesian Belief Network based system Bayesian Belief Network based system MSBN - Multiple sectioned Bayesian network MSBN - Multiple sectioned Bayesian network Uses natural localization existing in domain to decrease computational costUses natural localization existing in domain to decrease computational cost Also limits outcomes not anatomically involvedAlso limits outcomes not anatomically involved
Bayesian Network Contains 83 variables representing 14 diseases and 69 features, each of which has 3 possible outcomes.

Conclusions Use of Bayesian Network Use of Bayesian Network Works well with several hard to diagnose diseases Works well with several hard to diagnose diseases Can have huge patient base and localize information to reduce cost Can have huge patient base and localize information to reduce cost
