Automated System Control by Process of Oncological Diagnostics using IR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The use of conducted early computer processing of the data of infrared spectroscopy of bone tumors permitted not only to simplify the work of the attending oncologist, but also to solve the main problem to identify the diagnosis and conduct research of physic-chemical mechanism of tumor formation. In this regard a new automated system control by process of oncological diagnostics using IR Spectroscopy was developed. This automated system control allows in real-time in automatic mode, without human involvement, to diagnose the tumors based on quantitative analysis of the molecular structure of the inorganic and organic parts of the bone and the changes that occur in it with the development of pathological process among patients. The essence of using of the developed automated system control is to establish the main physic-chemical reasons of the onset of the disease, predict its outcome, select the optimal treatment methods, by transmitting an analog signal from the IR spectrometer through an analog-to-digital converter in the form of digital data to the controller for processing these data using a pre-recorded into its operative memory of the “Spectrum” program and displaying on computer screen the results of the diagnosis, the prognosis of the possible outcome of the disease (if the diagnosis is established), as well as recommendations for the prevention and selection of the optimal methods of disease treating.
