   Hi,   
      
    To see an example of one current medical AI system, consider this:   
      
   http://www.google.com/search?q=kanecki+mias&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq   
   t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a   
      
   The link above is work that I done since starting in medical AI in the   
   1980's.   
      
    Let me know what you think.   
      
   Sincerely,   
      
   Ebe
