Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary, pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, lung cancer diseases are the most important chest diseases. These chest diseases are important health problems in the world. In this study, a comparative chest diseases diagnosis was realized by using multilayer, probabilistic, learning vector quantization, and generalized regression neural networks. The chest diseases dataset were prepared by using patient's epicrisis reports from a chest diseases hospital's database.
