An integrated workstation for the learning and application of diagnostic rules to thallium radionuclide scintigraphy is under development. The METARULE system extracts features of diagnostic significance from digitized imagery using pattern matching techniques. A new symbolic induction algorithm is applied to feature sets paired with expert diagnoses to learn diagnostic rules. The rules are produced both in structured English and in a format useable by the workstation's expert system shell.
