The MT system has been reported to be effective in determining the severity of liver disease, but identifying the type of liver disease instead of just the level of severity remained an unsolved problem. This paper considers diagnostic methods that seek to use the MT system to identify both the severity and type of disease in liver patients who require special types of physical examination. The results suggest the possibility of a diagnosis that identifies the type of disease,although not through the Mahalanobis distance alone. Methods of diagnosing the type of disease are presented.
