Neuro-fuzzy Classification of Transcranial Doppler Signals with Chaotic Meaures and Spectral Parameters

ÖZTÜRK, Ali | ARSLAN, Ahmet

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a non-invasive diagnosis method which is used in diagnosis of various brain diseases by measuring the blood flow velocities in brain arteries. In this study, chaos analysis of the TCD signals recorded from the middle arteries of the temporal region of brain of the 82 patients and 23 healthy people was investigated. Among 82 patients, 20 of them had cerebral aneurism, 10 had brain hemorrhage, 22 had cerebral oedema and the remaining 30 had brain tumor. Maximum Lyapunov exponent which is the strongest quantitative indicator of chaos was found to be positive for all ...Daha fazlası
