A survey on applications of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps in Medical Field

A Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) is a cognitive map in which the relationships of a "mental landscape" between the elements (e.g. ideas, events, and project resources) can be used to compute the "effect power" of these elements. These maps can be used to relate features/concepts. They are more useful for classification and detection. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps are widely used in Medical fields and diagnosing diseases. This paper gives a review of Fuzzy Cognitive Map that have been developed for the detection and classification of diseases. Over the last two decades, a survey of FCM contributing to the medical field is concentrated.
