Quality evaluation in medical visualization: some issues and a taxonomy of methods

摘要: Among the several medical imaging stages (acquisition, reconstruction, etc.), visualization is latest stage on which decision generally taken. Scientific tools allow to process complex data into a graphical visible and understandable form, goal being provide new insight. If evaluation of procedures crucial issue main concern in medicine, paradoxically techniques, predominantly tri-dimensional imaging, have not been subject many studies. This perhaps due fact that integrates Human Visual Cognitive Systems, makes especially difficult. However, as question quality specific remains challenge. While few studies concerning cases already published, there still great need for definition systemization methodologies. The our study propose such framework, it possible take account all parameters taking part technique. Concerning problem general, particular, three different concepts appear be fundamental: type level components used convey user information contained data, at can performed, methodologies perform evaluation. We taxonomy involving types methods levels.
