Visualization of images via an enhanced eye tracking system

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable code thereon for image processing, the medium comprising:

• instructions for a first time epoch, performing the steps comprising:
• displaying an image onto a display with a first set of display settings;
• using an eye facing camera to track a user's first fixation location on the display;
• determining a first imaging finding located at the user's first fixation location on the display;
• recording data in a dataset including the first imaging finding with a first set of display settings;
• instructions for a subsequent time epoch, performing the steps comprising:
• displaying the image with a subsequent set of display settings wherein the subsequent set of display settings is different from the first set of display settings;
• using the eye facing camera to track the user's subsequent fixation location on the display;
• determining a subsequent imaging finding located at the user's subsequent fixation location on the display;
• and
• recording data in the dataset including the subsequent imaging finding with the subsequent set of display settings;
• instructions that compare the dataset with a predetermined criteria to determine whether a minimum review has been completed wherein the predetermined criteria comprises of at least one of the group consisting of:
• a minimum number of fixation locations for the image;
• a minimum number of fixation locations for each imaging finding;
• a minimum number of fixation locations for each subsegmented area within an imaging finding;
• a minimum viewing time for each imaging finding;
• a minimum number of imaging planes an imaging finding has fixation locations in situations comprising wherein the imaging dataset comprises cross-sectional imaging planes;
• a determination of whether or not a structure had optimized display during a fixation location;
• and
• a determination of whether or not a predetermined sequence of fixation locations for each imaging feature has been achieved,
• instructions that alter the displayed image based on the relationship between the analyzed dataset and the predetermined criteria further comprising:
• assigning a first visual representation adjustment logic to imaging finding(s) that have met the predetermined criteria;
• and
• assigning a second visual representation adjustment logic to imaging finding(s) that have not met the predetermined criteria where the first visual representation adjustment logic is different from the second visual representation adjustment logic;
• and
• instructions that provide visual feedback to the user based on whether or not the predetermined criteria has been met to guide the user in the performance of a comprehensive review of the image.

A computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• and wherein the memory is encoded with an application providing image processing that when performed on the processor provides a process for processing information, the process causing the computer system to perform the operations of:
• for a first time epoch, performing the steps comprising:
• displaying an image onto a display with a first set of display settings;
• using an eye facing camera to track a user's first fixation location on the display;
• determining a first imaging finding located at the user's first fixation location on the display;
• recording data in a dataset including the first imaging finding with a first set of display settings;
• for a subsequent time epoch, performing the steps comprising:
• displaying the image with a subsequent set of display settings wherein the subsequent set of display settings is different from the first set of display settings;
• using the eye facing camera to track the user's subsequent fixation location on the display;
• determining a subsequent imaging finding located at the user's subsequent fixation location on the display;
• and
• recording data in the dataset including the subsequent imaging finding with the subsequent set of display settings
• comparing the dataset with a predetermined criteria to determine whether a minimum review has been completed wherein the predetermined criteria comprises of at least one of the group consisting of,
• a minimum number of fixation locations for the image;
• a minimum number of fixation locations for each imaging finding;
• a minimum number of fixation locations for each subsegmented area within an imaging finding;
• a minimum viewing time for each imaging finding;
• a minimum number of imaging planes an imaging finding has fixation locations in situations comprising wherein the imaging dataset comprises cross-sectional imaging planes;
• a determination of whether or not a structure had optimized display during a fixation location;
• and
• a determination of whether or not a predetermined sequence of fixation locations for each imaging feature has been achieved;
• and
• instructions that alter the displayed image based on the relationship between the analyzed dataset and the predetermined criteria further comprising:
• assigning a first visual representation adjustment logic to imaging finding(s) that have met the predetermined criteria, and
• assigning a second visual representation adjustment logic to imaging finding(s) that have not met the predetermined criteria wherein the first visual representation adjustment logic is different from the second visual representation adjustment logic.
