Computing eye gaze metrics for the automatic assessment of radiographer performance during X-ray image interpretation

The accuracy and confidence of each group could be reflected in the variability of their eye tracking heat maps. Participants' thoughts and decisions were quantified using the eye tracking data. Eye tracking metrics also reflected the different search strategies that each group of participants adopted during their image interpretations. This is the first study to use eye tracking technology to assess image interpretation skills between various groups of different levels of experience in radiography, especially on a combination of the MSK system, chest cavity and a variety of pathologies.
