In this paper we describe the experiences we have made when designing a user-oriented software system allowing the interactive visual analysis of medical datasets. We give an overview of the work in progress regarding the system and explain how data handling as well as interactive exploration of medical datasets of different modalities is supported. All design decisions made within the development process of the proposed system have been made in cooperation with health professionals from the domains of radiology as well as nuclear medicine.
In diesem Artikel beschreiben die Autoren ihre Erfahrungen beim Entwurf eines benutzerzentrierten Softwaresystems zur interaktiven visuellen Analyse medizinischer Volumendaten. Es wird ein Überblick über den derzeitigen Stand des Systems gegeben, wobei auf die Verwaltung medizinischer Daten verschiedener Modalitäten sowie auf deren interaktive Exploration eingegangen wird. Das Design und die Entwicklung des vorgestellten Softwaresystems wurde in enger Kooperation mit Medizinern aus den Bereichen Radiologie und der Nuklearmedizin durchgeführt.
