The wearable Augmented Reality (AR) approach to support mammographic training: Hololens for screener training.

摘要

Screening training eciency highly relies on appropriate interaction and feedbacks provided during training.1;2A dedicated screening workstation and dedicated viewing software are de rigour for UK breast cancer screenertraining. These workstation and software are mainly manufactured by leading international vendors withoutcritical technical aspects divulged to allow integrating 3rd party screener training solutions. A non-wearableAR approach has been developed and its accuracy has been quantitatively identied. As a follow-up, this studyhas refactored previous approaches on the wearable platform, Hololens. Wearable AR solutions are considerablyuser-friendly in degrees of freedom movements whilst they are seamlessly integrated and less customisable.It has not been aware that screening-suitable room-scale AR approaches have been developed and adopted.However, wearable AR techniques have relatively sophisticated apparatus developed for personal usage. Inthis study, Hololens is adopted and the diculties of employing wearable AR techniques on screening trainingare systematically addressed. It is found infrared sensors of wearable AR solutions cannot retrieve spaciousdata correctly in the real world while the detected object is a monitor screen or other infrared-relative objects.Moreover, Hololens has the diculty of detecting large objects and its interaction range and visible rangesare both quite limited. Whereas an alternative method is developed for Hololens and it is fully functional forscreening training.
