Abstract

This paper presents the knowledge-system SONOCONSULT --an intelligent system in the medical domain. We evaluated the accuracy, acceptance and impact of SONOCONSULT, which has been used in clinical routine since 2002. The system was well accepted and had a significant clinical impact. In contrast to our original expectations, the diagnostic conclusions, although inferred with high accuracy, were less important especially for experienced physicians.
