Now a day’s application of ANN techniques provide a powerful tool to help doctors to analyze, complex clinical data across a broad range of medical application. Most applications of artificial neural networks to medicine are classification problems; that is, the task is on the basis of the measured features to assign the patient to one of a small set of classes. Neural Networks are ideal in recognizing diseases using scans since there is no need to provide a specific algorithm on how to identify the disease. The system is trained by employing an improved BP algorithm for detecting the relevant features of the clinical data.
