Abstract
The medical images and reference intervals, in the diagnosis and treatment process of diseases, are undoubtedly very important. Clear and easy interpretation of images and reference intervals derived from medical devices and statistical methods, respectively, are of great importance for doctors in the diagnosis and treatment process. In this article, for systemic lupus erythematosus disease, we have transformed the reference intervals into fuzzy sets and calculated the entropy values to find the uncertainty contained in the reference interval of systemic lupus erythematosus disease, so the doctors can keep in view patient treatment using entropy values. Finally, for better observations of patients, with the help of the entropy functions, new types of medical images were given for some trabecular bone diseases using Wolfram Mathematica 7.0. We should note that this type of medical images for bone mineral density is not in medicine.
