Abstract
In this article, we describe a continuing project directed toward the design and development of a knowledge-based expert system (NUCES), use d to aid interpretation of radionuclide imaging in the heart. NUCES co mprises a multimedia user interface, a diagnostic system, testing faci lity, and a novel explanation system. We describe its potential use in training clinicians, and discuss its implications for the delivery of widespread screening for heart disease.
