ViewDEX (Viewer for Digital Evaluation of X-ray Images) is an image viewer compatible with Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) that has been especially designed to facilitate image perception and observer performance studies within medical imaging. The software was first released in 2004 and since then a continuous development has been ongoing. One of the major drawbacks of previous versions of ViewDEX has been that they have lacked functionality enabling the possibility to evaluate multiple images and/or image stacks simultaneously. This functionality is especially requested by researchers working with modalities, where an image acquisition can result in multiple image stacks (e.g. axial, coronal and sagittal reformations in computed tomography). In ViewDEX 3.0 this functionality has been added and it is now possible to perform image evaluations of multiple images and/or image stacks simultaneously, by using multiple monitors and/or multiple image canvases in monitors. Additionally, some of the previously available functionality has been updated and improved. This paper describes the recent developments of ViewDEX 3.0.

VIEWDEX 3.0 — 促进图像质量和观察者性能评估的软件应用程序的最新开发

ViewDEX（X 射线图像数字评估查看器）是与医学数字成像和通信 (DICOM) 兼容的图像查看器，专门设计用于促进医学成像中的图像感知和观察者性能研究。该软件于 2004 年首次发布，此后一直在进行持续开发。以前版本的 ViewDEX 的主要缺点之一是它们缺乏能够同时评估多个图像和/或图像堆栈的功能。使用模态的研究人员特别需要此功能，其中图像采集可能导致多个图像堆栈（例如计算机断层扫描中的轴向、冠状和矢状重建）。在 ViewDEX 3 中。0 添加了此功能，现在可以通过在监视器中使用多个监视器和/或多个图像画布同时执行多个图像和/或图像堆栈的图像评估。此外，一些以前可用的功能已经更新和改进。本文介绍了 ViewDEX 3.0 的最新进展。
