Multimodal Biomedical Imaging Platform All-in-One

Nowadays the physicians have to work with a huge amount of information, frequently poorly structured and/or presented in unsuitable way. The idea to introduce a biomedical platform that supports the intra-op data managing, visualization, processing, pre-op planning, post-op follow-up, etc. raises from the physicians’ needs. The research consists of the studying of the requirements of the end-user with the aim of presenting the multimodal data in an optimal way (using the available screen space, introducing different hardware solutions) and making it easily and fast accessible and usable (minimum number of click to access the certain functionality, touch screen usage). The goal is to design a system, which will improve the everyday physician practice and lead to faster intervention planning, diagnostic and patient assistance. The study aims the orthopedics field and concentrates on the surgeons needs: what do they expect when interpreting imaging? The method of the research is based on the contribute of the group of practical orthopedics involved in two stages of the study: collection of the requirements during the oral interviews and evaluation of the proposed imaging platform by execution of the specific tasks. Preliminary results suggest the technology that improves the confidence of the clinicians with the multimodal imaging diagnostic.
