Resumo(s)
Objective: The main goal of the CHUB (cartographic human body) model is to introduce a cartographic approach that can assist in the analysis, visualization and diagnosis of medical images and related data.
Method: A cartographic model is proposed as a reference framework for developing computer systems and applications. This model accommodates subtle spatial features of these data that may facilitate diagnosis. Medical images and related data are structured into different “human-referenced” information layers. Algebraic map operations are used to combine these layers and achieve greater insights into the information content.
Results: Two case studies were considered to evaluate and validate the model: hydrokinetic therapy and the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis. A prototype based on the CHUB model was implemented, and two different approaches were used to test and evaluate it. Full acceptance of the model was achieved by clinicians who used the CHUB system.
