Medical Data Probabilistic Analysis by Optical Computing Methods
Abstract
The purpose of this article to show the laser coherent photonics methods can be use for classification of medical information. It is shown that the holography methods can be used not only for work with images. Holographic methods can be used for processing of information provided in the universal multi-parametric form. It is shown that along with the usual correlation algorithm enable to realize a number of algorithms of classification: searching for a precedent, Hamming distance measurement, Bayes probability algorithm, deterministic and “correspondence” algorithms. Significantly, that preserves all advantages of holographic method – speed, two-dimension, record-breaking high capacity of memory, flexibility of data processing and representation of result, high radiation resistance in comparison with electronic equipment. For example is presented the result of solving one of the problems of medical diagnostics - a forecast of organism state after mass traumatic lesions.
