Developing performance criteria for the e-Pelvis simulator using visual analysis.
The e-Pelvis is an inanimate simulator for clinical uterine examination. Data from the e-Pelvis has been studied extensively yet the clinical characteristics of palpation remain elusive. We describe our use of visual representation of the data that enabled expert physician/investigators to discover patterns of palpation.
