Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Medical Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Numerous methods exist for visualizing medical data on computers.
  • Lack of consistent terminology hinders discussion and comparison of these visualization methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a standardized taxonomy for medical data presentations.
  • To improve the clarity and consistency in discussing and comparing visualization techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a taxonomy based on object-oriented user interface principles.
  • Classified presentations into five major categories: list, table, graph, icon, and generated text.
  • Subdivided these into eight simple inheritance subclasses and four multiple inheritance subclasses.

Main Results:

  • The proposed taxonomy provides a structured classification of medical data presentations.
  • Examples are provided for various subclasses, illustrating their application.
  • Identified critical issues for the development and evaluation of these presentations.

Conclusions:

  • The established taxonomy offers a consistent framework for medical data visualization.
  • Facilitates better communication and evaluation of computer-based medical data presentation methods.
