Abstract

A knowledge-based glaucoma monitor is developed to detect critical or suspicious situations in patient's ophthalmic data sets. The decision, which type of situation occurs is made by a neuro-fuzzy classifier. The neural net part is based on a special developed feature selection algorithm and a RBF network. Fuzzy classification is realised by a fuzzy rule set combining all patient data with the classification results of the neural net classifier to the final decision.
