IMAGE RECOGNITION AND PROCESSING
Purpose of research is development of a recurrent algorithm for optimizing Voight models of biomaterial, which allows obtaining sets of descriptors for classifiers of the functional state of living systems in intelligent decision support systems for predicting and diagnosing socially significant diseases.
Methods. The essence of the proposed method lies in the use of a recurrent procedure for comparing the biomaterial impedance model obtained on the basis of series-connected Voigt links and the results of experimental studies. In the process of optimizing the Voigt model of the biomaterial, according to the proposed method, frequency pools are formed, at which, according to the results of the recurrent procedure, the optimal Voigt models are found by the number of links in the model. Then, according to the results of the integral error, the optimal number of model links is selected, corresponding to this number, the optimal pool of frequencies. The parameters of the Voight model make it possible to form descriptors for multimodal classifiers of the functional state of living systems and parameters of model links.
Results. ^s an example for testing the operation of the classifier built on the basis of the Voight model optimization algorithm, a group of patients with pneumonia with a clear diagnosis was taken. To obtain raw bioimpedance analysis data, an electrode belt was put on the chest of patients and impedance diagrams were determined corresponding to a certain combination of electrodes. The quality indicators of various classifier models reached 0,78% and did not fall below 0,62%

The purpose of research is development of a method for processing and graphical display of multichannel medical signals in quasi-real time.
Methods. The method assumes segmentation of the program into easily used class modules, which are combined into a common hierarchy using object-oriented inheritance principles. It allows building medical signal registration systems of wide complexity. The method is based on the division of the general computational process into certain stages, called steps. A separate part of the hardware is allocated for each stage, and the process of transferring input-output data is organized between the stages. The set of steps is a pipeline for data processing. The proposed architecture of the medical signal processing system allows pipelined multi-threaded processing of multichannel medical signals, which increases the efficiency of using multi-core computing platforms.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DECISION-MAKING
The purpose of research is to improve the accuracy in assessing the level of blood oxygen saturation in an aircraft pilot when conducting non-invasive spectrophotometric measurements in transmitted light under the influence of dynamic flight factors.
Methods are based on the basic concepts of the interaction of optical radiation with biological tissue and blood, the theory of pulse oximetry, probability theory, mathematical statistics, signal theory. When developing mathematical models of photoplethysmographic signals, aircraft noise, vibration, as well as for their representation in the frequency domain, the MATLAB 2019b program with a graphical user interface with a built-in Symbolic Math Toolbox package of mathematical functions was used as a tool.
Results. Mathematical models have been developed to assess the level of functional and fractional blood saturation. Model studies of the influence of dynamic flight factors, such as broadband quasi-harmonic vibration and aircraft noise, on the accuracy of estimating the pilot's blood saturation level have been carried out. It has been shown that to assess functional saturation, it is sufficient to use two sources of optical radiation, while for fractional saturation, their minimum number should be equal to four and is determined by the number of hemoglobin fractions taken into account in the blood. The use of four sources of optical radiation of a given spectral composition (660 nm, 805 nm, 880 nm and 940 nm) when performing non-invasive spectrophotometric measurements to assess the level of blood oxygen saturation compared to two sources (660 nm and 940 nm) allows to reduce the absolute error: in under the influence of broadband quasi-harmonic vibration - 3.64 times; under the influence of aircraft noise (70 dB) and (30 dB) - by 7.64 and 2.5 times, respectively; under the influence of the combined effects of vibration and aircraft noise (30 dB) - by 2.22 times.
Conclusion. For an adequate assessment of the pilot's functional state according to the values of his physiological parameters, in particular, the level of blood oxygen saturation, it is necessary to use diagnostic tools based on multiwave pulse oximetry, which allow estimating the level of fractional saturation.
MODELING IN MEDICAL AND TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
The purpose of research is focused on factors affecting the detection and differentiation of circulatory disorders using broadband measurements of electrical impedance parameters.
Methods. The measurements were conducted using an anatomically realistic head phantom consisting that contained three major components simulating the scalp, skull and the brain. The pathological foci were simulated by injection of sodium chloride dissolved in distilled water. A purpose made measuring setup that provides wideband electrical impedance measurements in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 1 MHz and a basic error of no more than 1% was used.
Results. Early diagnosis of brain stroke is a necessary condition for successful treatment and subsequent rehabilitation. Computed tomography has the most advanced diagnostic capabilities, but it can used only in hospitals. Electrical impedance spectroscopy, a method to measure the electrical parameters of biological tissues, can potentially be used for early diagnosis at the pre-hospital stage. The article presents the results of numerical and phantom modeling aimed to study the ability of electrical impedance spectroscopy to detect and differentiate ischemic and hemorrhagic types of brain stroke.
Conclusion. Wideband electrical impedance spectroscopy can be considered as a promising cerebrovascular screening method. However, it has some limitations that should be addressed to develop biotechnical systems for clinical applications. In particular, the minimum size of a detected ischemic lesion depends on the resolution and dynamic range of the system. To detect foci with a volume of no more than 5 ml, located close to the electrodes, a dynamic range of the system must be at least 60 dB. Systems with typical dynamic range of 40 dB the minimal detectable volume increases up to 30 ml.

Methods. In the course of the work, an exploratory analysis was carried out using the method of group accounting of arguments (MGUA) and the theory of latent variables with the Rush model was used. As a basic mathematical apparatus, the methodology of synthesis of hybrid fuzzy decision rules was used, which proved itself well when solving problems with a fuzzy description of the classes under study.
Results. During the research, mathematical models for predicting the severity of ischemic disorders were synthesized and appropriate membership functions were obtained to assess the severity of ischemia of the affected organ for each of the signs. Expert evaluation and mathematical modeling have shown that confidence in the correct decision-making on the prognosis of the severity of ischemia of the affected organ exceeds 0.9.

The developed algorithm made it possible in 90% of cases to avoid the development of cardiovascular complications in the form of myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident and gangrene of the lower extremities, which makes it possible to recommend its use in clinical practice of cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons.
The purpose of research is to improving the quality of diagnosis of obstructive pathology of extrahepatic bile ducts based on the analysis of reference schemes of reference endosonograms through the use of hybrid fuzzy mathematical models.
Methods. The main diagnostic method is endoscopic ultrasonography in combination with the methodology of synthesis of hybrid fuzzy decision rules developed at Southwestern State University.
Results. The number of patients with cancer of the extrahepatic bile ducts and the papilla duodeni major is steadily growing and has increased 1,5-2 times over the past 20 years. The differential diagnosis of benign and malignant stenoses is particularly difficult due to the similarity of their echosemiotics. Based on expert assessments of endosonograms displaying the pathology of extrahepatic bile ducts using the methodology of synthesis of hybrid fuzzy decision rules, a fuzzy hybrid model of differential diagnosis of the pathology under study was obtained. Based on the results of mathematical modeling and statistical tests on representative control samples, it was shown that the obtained model of differential diagnosis using reference images of reference endosonograms provides confidence in the desired diagnosis at the level of 0,93.
Conclusions. The obtained model of differential diagnosis of obstructive pathology of extrahepatic bile ducts provides confidence in decision-making at the level of 0,93, which is an acceptable quality indicator in clinical practice, providing "work" in conditions of insufficient statistics with a poorly formalized data structure.
