Abstract:
Subjective quality evaluation of medical images is mostly achieved using some version of ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) evaluation. In the majority of studies ROC analysis is the focus of research. The software tool used to mark medical images and to gather diagnostic data is either not described or described only briefly. During our research on quality evaluation system for medical images used in PACS system (Picture Archiving and Communication System), we decided to implement such a software tool. We decided to base our solution on web technologies. One of our goals was to enable in a single application on site evaluation of medical images in a local hospital and remote evaluation of medical images. In the paper, we report our goals, design decisions, and we describe the current version of the region marking software tool. The presented software tool is more than just an additional tool for subjective quality evaluation of medical images because it can be used as a software platform for education in diagnostic imaging.
