Abstract

Professionals of the medical radiology area depend directly on the process of decision making in their daily activities. This process is mainly based on the analysis of a great amount of information obtained for the evaluation of radiographic images. Some studies demonstrate the great capacity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in support systems for diagnosis, mainly in applications as pattern classification. The objective of this article is to present the development of an ANN-based system, verifying its behavior as a feature extraction and dimensionality reduction tool, for recognition and characterization of patterns, for posterior classification in normal and abnormal patterns.
