Project Details

A hypermedia SuperCard-generated tutorial designed for medical students and technical professionals to familiarize them the basics of digital imagery. 
 
SuperImage presents six sections of material including basic digital image definitions, pixels, resolutions, quantization issues. Animations show refinements of themes. Students can also interact with imaging parameters to understand their related effects on digital images. 
 
"The goal is to provide the reader with a number of animated visual examples of common issues in digital imagery" to provide them with a context of how it impacts their interpretation of such imagery in medical diagnosis.
