Abstract

The evaluation of eye movement patterns during the analysis of medical images could be especially helpful in assessing the efficiency of this process. It could further influence the improvement and duration of the analysis as well as the learning pathways. In the presented study Eye-Tracker was used to evaluate analysts’ eye-paths during assessments of intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. The various levels of experience of analysts, that took part in the study, led to noticeable differences in the interpretation of vessel’s images. As expected, the analysis duration was longer for the analyst in training (107 min) than for the experienced one (69 min).
