Abstract

Presents the design principles for a graphical user interface for viewing mammograms interactively, in the context of self-paced, computer-aided instruction. Patient data, whole image and full resolution views, feature highlighting, image processing and radiology and pathology reports, are all integrated into a self-contained package with intuitively understood graphical icons to permit rapid learning and comfortable use. The image database is searchable by patient, view, date, similarity of lesion appearance, and pathology so that different slices of the same data may be reviewed to consolidate knowledge and test understanding
