Abstract
This paper presents AIDI-Heart, a computer-based decision support tool for automated interpretation of diagnostic heart images, which is made available via the web. The tool is based on image processing techniques, artificial neural networks, and large and well validated medical databases. The performance of the tool has been evaluated in several recent papers and the results show the high potential for the tool as a clinical decision support system. The tool has now been integrated into a WWW environment for easy access and operation using your favourite web-browser. This first version of AIDI-Heart is evaluated by three hospitals, two in Denmark and one in Sweden.
