human-like expertise in a specific domain with abilities <strong>to</strong> learn and adapt <strong>to</strong> a<br />

rapidly changing environment.<br />

Although the field <strong>of</strong> hybrid intelligent systems is still evolving, and most<br />

hybrid <strong>to</strong>ols are not yet particularly effective, neuro-fuzzy systems have already<br />

matured as an advanced technology with numerous successful applications.<br />

While neural networks can learn from data, the key benefit <strong>of</strong> fuzzy logic lies in<br />

its ability <strong>to</strong> model decision-making <strong>of</strong> humans.<br />

Case study 8: Neuro-fuzzy decision-support systems<br />

I want <strong>to</strong> develop an intelligent system for diagnosing myocardial<br />

perfusion from cardiac images. I have a set <strong>of</strong> cardiac images as well as<br />

the clinical notes and physician’s interpretation. Will a hybrid system<br />

work for this problem?<br />

Diagnosis in modern cardiac medicine is based on the analysis <strong>of</strong> SPECT (Single<br />

Pro<strong>to</strong>n Emission Computed Tomography) images. By injecting a patient with
