Randa Talal Elqassas

Abstract:
The bones are the structure of the body that enable us to stand up straight, place of attachment of muscles thus permitting the course of the blood vessels, where the bone marrow and nerve protect the soft tissues, and bone is likewise an organ that humans need to lift and move weighty goods. The bone is an organ that we need to do daily activities, thus we cannot envision how disturbance when there is a damage that happens to our bones. Due to the complications in diagnosing fractures, I propose to design and development of an expert system to diagnose broken bones in humans using CLIPS and Delphi languages. The knowledge is going to be collected from human experts that specializes Broken Bone. The collected knowledge of experts who specializes in health issues, particularly regarding diseases of the bones (in this case is an expert in fractures) can be represented into the computer in the form of a program that can be used by many users and can be used to resolve problems experienced independently without the presence of a human expert directly so that we can get the diagnosis and treatment accurately and easily. The expert system was evaluated by a group of medical students in Al-Azhar University in Gaza and fractures specialists in the Faculty of Medicine in Al-Azhar University, and the their relevant comments and recommendations were used in the final development stage of the expert system. The final system was tested by 30 patients who had fractures of various types, and the results were compared with the specialists' diagnosis. The results of both methods were consistent.
