Decision Support System for Selection of the Most Suitable Biomedical Material

Selection of the most suitable material for a given biomedical application is very complex, important and responsible task. A decision support system based on the use of method of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, named MCDM Solver, was developed in order to facilitate the selection process of biomedical materials and increase selection confidence and objectivity. In this paper, a MCDM problem which referes to the selection of the most suitable material for the compensation of the missing parts of the long bones was solved by using the developed MCDM Solver.
