A revised Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithm for medical image recognition is proposed and is applied to 3-dimensional medical image analysis of the heart. The revised GMDH-type neural network algorithm has a feedback loop and can identify the characteristics of the medical images accurately using feedback loop calculations. In this algorithm, the polynomial type and the radial basis function (RBF) type neurons are used for organizing the neural network architecture. The optimum neural network architecture fitting the complexity of the medical images is automatically organized so as to minimize the prediction error criterion defined as Prediction Sumof Squares (PSS).
