- Description
- The drill-locate-drill (DLD) algorithm models the expert clinician's top-down diagnostic reasoning process, which generates a set of diagnostic hypotheses using a set of screening symptoms, and then tests them by eliciting specific clinical information for each differential diagnosis. The algorithm arrives at final diagnoses by matching the elicited clinical features with what is expected in each differential diagnosis using an efficient technique known as the orthogonal vector projection method. The DLD algorithm is compared with its rival select-test (ST) algorithm and its design/implementation in psychiatry, and evaluation using actual patient data is discussed.
