Computational assessment of visual search strategies in volumetric medical images

Abstract: Abstract. When searching through volumetric images [e.g., computed tomography (CT)], radiologists appear to use two different search strategies: "drilling" (restrict eye movements to a small region of the image while quickly scrolling through slices), or "scanning" (search over large areas at a given depth before moving on to the next slice). To computationally identify the type of image information that is used in these two strategies, 23 naïve observers were instructed with either "drilling" or "scanning" wh… Show more

“…Several recent studies provide evidence that radiologists examining CT images in three-dimensions developed visual patterns that involved maintaining little movement in one dimension while scanning across the plane of the other two dimensions (Drew, Vo, Olwal, et al, 2013;Wen et al, 2016). Two distinct techniques within this pattern could be clustered, but no significant superiority of one technique over another was demonstrated.…”

“…Wolfe et al (1994) summarize this process in the "Guided Search Model," in which bottom-up attention to distracters is at least partially suppressed by the top-down effects of visual expertise. The expert's knowledge provides scene guidance to relevant parts of the image, which combines with these effects to create a mental representation of the likely location of targets (Wen et al, 2016). This course of attentional gaze may be modulated by systematic training algorithms for visual inspection (for example, a trained pattern of attention to each potential diagnostic target within a chest radiograph), as well as clinical information (Draschkow et al, 2014;Drew, Evans, et al, 2013;Wolfe et al, 2015;Wolfe et al, 2007).…”
