Designing user interfaces to enhance human interpretation of medical content-based image retrieval: application to PET-CT images
Purpose Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) in medicine has been demonstrated to improve evidence-based diagnosis, education, and teaching. However, the low clinical adoption of CBIR is partially because the focus of most studies has been the development of feature extraction and similarity measurement algorithms with limited work on facilitating better understanding of the similarity between complex volumetric and multi-modality medical images. In this paper, we present a method for defining user interfaces (UIs) that enable effective human user interpretation of retrieved images.
