*INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE* *DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE* *8TH Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore – 560059* *DRTC Seminar 2011-2013* *DETECTION OF BRAIN TUMOUR USING ONTOLOGY* *Abstract* *For the diagnosis and detection of brain tumour, as well as to aid the medical practitioners in the investigation of the same, the need of a computer based diagnosis system proves to be helpful. This would not only help them in their various investigation procedures, but also give them a support system to diagnose problems that they might have otherwise overlooked. This seminar presentation is specifically designed to represent the ontological relationship based on particular domain of brain tumour for its improved detection and as a tool for better help to the medical practitioner for their practice in the particular field.* * * *Brain Tumour is one of the most deadly disease in India. It contributes significantly to morbidity, often affecting children and overall have a poor prognosis. Due to marketed resistance to radiation and chemotherapy, the prognosis for patients with Glioblastomas is very poor and less than 3% survive more than 3 year. This paper presents a semantic approach to develop a decision making support system to support new medicine practitioner, who are new in this field before prescribe/ recommend any treatment or therapy, he/ she would be able to understand what will be the possible treatment available and their effect on the patient. For helping new professional and clinical guideline we develop this brain tumour ontology. We present our brain tumour ontology which models the knowledge from patient’s electronic records. In this paper we discuss the ontology building process using the Protégé 4.1 ontology editor and also highlight the specification of our Brain Tumour Ontology in terms of clinical concepts and relationships between the concepts which are represented in the OWL class and properties.* Speaker: Subhashis Das,MS(LIS) Venue : DRTC Classroom, Date: 15th Nov 2012 Time : 02:00 P.M.
