A research project funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study how different types of cues affect radiologists' search performance and diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging, using eye movement tracking to understand underlying mechanisms.
Description
This project aims to quantify the effects of precise vs imprecise text cues and location cues on radiologic search tasks, recording radiologists' eye movements to improve diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging. The research will assess how cue precision affects the identification of abnormalities in chest x-rays and 3D volumetric CTs, with the goal of optimizing information presentation to radiologists and enhancing medical image viewing models.
