用眼动追踪发现,胸片辅助框会改变医生阅片习惯。
Eye-Tracking as a Tool to Quantify the Effects of CAD Display on Radiologists' Interpretation of Chest Radiographs
- 通过眼动仪记录医生读片时的视线变化
- 辅助框使查看病灶时间延长1.3秒,路径更长
- 适合研究AI辅助工具对诊断行为的影响
目的:胸部影像的计算机辅助检测系统广泛应用,同时显示的边界框(BB)可能影响阅读过程。本小规模研究采用眼动追踪技术,初步量化视觉搜索中哪些方面受到影响。方法:从VinDR-CXR数据集选取180张胸片,其中120张含孤立肺结节或肿块,60张无异常。边界框设置为整体敏感度和特异度均为80%。三位经验分别为11年、5年和1年的放射科医生分别在间隔不少于2周的情况下,对每例图像各读两次——一次带边界框,一次不带。使用EyeTech VT3 Mini记录眼动。评估指标包括解读时间、首次注视病灶时间、病灶停留时间、总视线路径长度及肺野覆盖比例。结果采用线性混合模型分析,以阅读条件为固定效应,病例与读者为随机截距。主要分析限定于96个真阳性病例。结果显示,同时显示边界框使解读时间延长4.9秒(p<0.001),病灶停留时间增加1.3秒(p<0.001),总视线路径长度增加2076像素(p<0.001),肺野覆盖比例提高10.5%(p<0.001),首次注视病灶时间缩短1.3秒(p<0.001)。结论:眼动追踪可捕捉到伴随边界框显示所引起的搜索行为明显变化。这些发现支持该方法的可行性,并强调需要更大规模研究来验证效果并探索其在不同模态和临床场景中的意义。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Rationale and Objectives: Computer-aided detection systems for chest radiographs are widely used, and concurrent reader displays, such as bounding-box (BB) highlights, may influence the reading process. This pilot study used eye tracking to conduct a preliminary experiment to quantify which aspects of visual search were affected. Materials and Methods: We sampled 180 chest radiographs from the VinDR-CXR dataset: 120 with solitary pulmonary nodules or masses and 60 without. The BBs were configured to yield an overall display sensitivity and specificity of 80%. Three radiologists (with 11, 5, and 1 years of experience, respectively) interpreted each case twice - once with BBs visible and once without - after a washout of >= 2 weeks. Eye movements were recorded using an EyeTech VT3 Mini. Metrics included interpretation time, time to first fixation on the lesion, lesion dwell time, total gaze-path length, and lung-field coverage ratio. Outcomes were modeled using a linear mixed model, with reading condition as a fixed effect and case and reader as random intercepts. The primary analysis was restricted to true positives (n=96). Results: Concurrent BB display prolonged interpretation time by 4.9 s (p<0.001) and increased lesion dwell time by 1.3 s (p<0.001). Total gaze-path length increased by 2,076 pixels (p<0.001), and lung-field coverage ratio increased by 10.5% (p<0.001). Time to first fixation on the lesion was reduced by 1.3 s (p<0.001). Conclusion: Eye tracking captured measurable alterations in search behavior associated with concurrent BB displays during chest radiograph interpretation. These findings support the feasibility of this approach and highlight the need for larger studies to confirm effects and explore implications across modalities and clinical contexts.
