Abstract

This paper introduces the use of a swarm intelligence algorithm – Stochastic Diffusion Search – as a tool to identify metastasis in bone scans. This algorithm is adapted for this particular purpose and its performance is investigated by running the algorithm’s agents on sample bone scans whose status have been determined by the experts. A statistical analysis is also presented, highlighting the behaviour of the algorithm when presented with different samples.
