Abstract

The current stage of medical science development requires updating the methodological and procedural base of research, which leads to the expansion of the mathematical methods' scope for medical purposes, including medical diagnosis. Most frequently, its problems are solved by Bayesian, correlation and regression analysis, phase interval method and the methodology of the logical conclusion (logical programming), which operate on quantitative information and are not designed to use qualitative and binary data. The methodology of the fuzzy-set logic, which permits to transform qualitative information into mathematical dependencies, is not widely used yet in the study of biological objects, as it assumes a rigid dependence of some phenomena on others, which is not typical of living biological systems. This limits the use of mathematical technologies to study the characteristics of changes that occur in cells of the body under the influence of various factors. To effectively solve a number of multidisciplinary medical, medico-social and social problems, namely polyetiologically caused thyroid pathology, it is necessary to develop modern informative approaches to study the activity of the thyroid gland in normal and pathology based on mathematical methods.
