Abstract: Inspecting digital imaging for primary diagnosis introduces
perceptual and cognitive demands for physicians tasked with interpreting visual
medical information and arriving at appropriate diagnoses and treatment decisions.
The process of medical interpretation and diagnosis involves a complex interplay
between visual perception and multiple cognitive processes, including memory
retrieval, ... read moreproblem-solving, and decision-making. Eye-tracking technologies are
becoming increasingly available in the consumer and research markets and provide
novel opportunities to learn more about the interpretive process, including
differences between novices and experts, how heuristics and biases shape visual
perception and decision-making, and the mechanisms underlying misinterpretation
and misdiagnosis. The present review provides an overview of eye-tracking
technology, the perceptual and cognitive processes involved in medical
interpretation, how eye tracking has been employed to understand medical
interpretation and promote medical education and training, and some of the
promises and challenges for future applications of this technology.
Keywords: Eye tracking, Medical informatics, Visual perception,
Visual search, Medical decision-making.
