<p>Are there any medical diagnosis systems that are already used somewhere that are based on artificial neural networks?</p>

Great and salient question.  My general sense is that NNs are getting very good at this, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is an area where automata exceed humans, in all but exceptional cases.  Welcome to SE:AI!
