The Project

This project is a continuation of the work that Dr. Atkins and did together during a special research project course in spring 2007. We evaluated different interaction methods for supporting radiologists' interpretation of 3D volumes of images. We designed a look-alike radiology task that involved searching through image slices to locate artificial anomolies designed to resemble tumours.

I developed the simplified radiology software using C++. It preloads the entire stack of images to prevent lag-time during image traversal. Timing information is stored for analysis, e.g. how long a user holds down a mouse button or how long they look at an individual image slice.

We wrote a paper, "Evaluating User Interactions for Stack Mode Viewing", on our study and its results which has been accepted for the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 2008 annual meeting. In addition it has been selected as a Feature Presentation, an "example of outstanding science."

Much more detailed information about the project, including the results of our study, can be found in the research paper (linked to in the menu).
