Medical imaging plays a central role in a vast range of healthcare practices. The usefulness of 3D visualizations has been demonstrated for many types of treatment planning. Nevertheless, full access to 3D renderings outside of the radiology department is still scarce even for many image-centric specialties. Our work stems from the hypothesis that this under-utilization is partly due to existing visualization systems not taking the prerequisites of this application domain fully into account. We have developed a medical visualization table intended to better fit the clinical reality. The overall design goals were two-fold: similarity to a real physical situation and a very low learning threshold. This paper describes the development of the visualization table with focus on key design decisions. The developed features include two novel interaction components for touch tables. A user study including five orthopedic surgeons demonstrates that the system is appropriate and useful for this application domain.
医学成像在广泛的医疗实践中起着核心作用。3D 可视化已经在许多类型的治疗计划中证明了其有用性。然而，即使对于许多以图像为中心的专业领域，也很难在放射科以外的地方完全访问 3D 渲染图像。我们的工作基于这样一种假设，即这种未充分利用的部分原因是由于现有的可视化系统没有充分考虑到该应用领域的前提条件。我们开发了一种旨在更好地适应临床实际情况的医学可视化表。总体设计目标有两个：与真实物理情况的相似性和非常低的学习门槛。本文介绍了可视化表的开发，重点介绍了关键设计决策。开发的功能包括触摸表的两个新的交互组件。一项包括五名骨科医生的用户研究表明，该系统适用于该应用领域并且非常有用。
