Project Description
Image rotation can significantly affect the quality and interpretability of PLAX echocardiographic images. This project aims to create a standardized, open-access dataset of PLAX images with varying degrees of rotation, along with expert annotations.
Project Goals
- Develop a Reference Dataset: Create a comprehensive dataset of PLAX echocardiographic images with diverse rotation angles, carefully annotated by experienced echocardiographers.
- Standardize Rotation Assessment: Establish clear and objective criteria for assessing the degree of rotation in PLAX images.
- Empower AI Development: Provide a high-quality dataset to train and validate AI algorithms for automatic rotation detection and correction.
- Improve Image Acquisition: Develop training materials and guidelines to help sonographers optimize image acquisition and minimize rotational artifacts.
- Enhance Diagnostic Accuracy: Ultimately improve the accuracy and reliability of PLAX echocardiographic interpretations for better patient care.
Your Role
- Review PLAX Echocardiographic Videos: You will be presented with a series of PLAX echocardiographic videos.
- Assess Rotation: Using the provided guidelines and your expertise, you will assess the degree of rotation in each video.
- Rank Images: You will then rank the videos based on the severity of rotation, from least to most rotated.
- Provide Feedback (Optional): Share your insights and suggestions for improving the annotation process or the assessment criteria.
How to Participate
- Create an Account: Register on the UnityImaging.net labelling platform.
- Access the Project: Find and join the "PLAX Rotation Assessment Project."
- Review Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the detailed annotation instructions and criteria for assessing rotation.
- Start Annotating: Begin reviewing and ranking PLAX echocardiographic videos based on the degree of rotation.
- Provide Feedback (Optional): Share your insights to help refine the process and improve the dataset.
Ranking Criteria
- Anatomical Landmarks: Assess how well the anatomical landmarks align with standard views.
- Overall Image Quality: Rate the overall clarity and diagnostic quality of the image, considering factors like contrast and resolution.
