Abstract

A software package called EXP, designed for use in psychophysical and presentation experiments, is described. The software package is used to configure and run experiments on a workstation to test its psychophysical and user interface parameters. The sample presentation and psychophysical experiments are described. They assist in the determination of optimal default parameters for the workstation and the measurement of the effect of the display workstation on the radiologist´s diagnostic accuracy
