Definición

  • When a radiologist is presented with a medical image, be it a radiograph or the many hundreds of images generated from a computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, he or she needs to make sense of the images, which are representations of the human body, and perceive pathology among the different ambiguous shapes, shades, and contours. Abnormalities are generally perceived quickly, as eye tracking has demonstrated, with pathology usually looked at within the first two or three fixations.
