We have implemented all segmentation techniques described above, in an interactive software. The operator can chose and adapt the appropriate segmentation technique with the desired parameters. Some geometrical features can be extracted using a contour following such as length, width, surface, form, median axes of the selected defect. The selection is easy and can be done interactively using the mouse. 

With the advent of notebook computers, it is feasible to use interactive software to structure the data collection process at the workplace. There are many potential advantages with this approach.

Prospective sources include encounter data, which may or may not be contained in EHRs patient data input and randomized, prospective clinical trials. Advantages of prospective sources to inform interactive software include the ability to control and monitor the circumstances of data collection reduction (as a result of randomization) of sources of bias potential minimization of missing data potential to modify design of data collection ability to verify data accuracy and ability to validate and further test assumptions and modify existing programs.

It is essential that, with the use of evidence-based medicine to inform decisions in health care, the processes used in program development be as transparent as possible. Information about the limited evidence and inherent uncertainty should be disclosed and available for scrutiny, even within the software itself. In fact, in an attempt to maximize transparency, some have advocated open source development and publication of interactive software models [49, 50]. Certainly, details of methodologies, sources, and other techniques employed for development of the underlying models must be acknowledged. However, the proprietary nature of many of these programs must be taken into consideration and measures put into place to ensure confidentiality. Requested publication of all NIH-sponsored research online (in PubMed) [51] within a reasonable time frame after journal acceptance will help to ensure that these data are available in the public domain in short order. 

Despite these limitations, sensitivity analyses and ongoing updated evaluations will allow the creation of interactive software programs to aid health care stakeholders and patients in making the most informed decisions about treatments amid a milieu of cost containment. 

Some of these interacting objects may be computer systems. We can treat them as single objects and describe their interactions with the world around them. Subsequently, we refine the system into a community of interacting software objects (see Figure 6.12). (A standard OO design is based on a model of the external world so that we now have two of everything a real coffee cup, a user, and a coin, plus their representations inside the software.) When we look inside the software, we can continue to use the more general multi-... 

Components of a designed system can be described in the same way as interacting objects. The same notation can be used for designing interacting software objects as is used for analyzing things and concepts in the users world. 

Second, shielding, colhmation and alignment methods were developed to the extent that aU non-sample scattering was removed from the data. This enabled extremely weak sample reflections to be uncovered, which revealed the unexpected structural complexity that had previously been masked by the lower-quality energy-dispersive data. Thirdly, the first GUI interactive software for integrating full two-dimensional images was developed [30, 162].

The equilibrium calculations in ChemApp are performed by the same Gibbs energy minimisation code as in the well-known interactive software ChemSage, now FactSage, and are thus of proven reliability. 

Most modem spectrometers have interactive software that permits the operator to vary a particular weighting parameter and immediately observe the effect of this change on the final spectmm. The first increment generally is selected to see what the effects of weighting parameters are on the 2 data. With the first FID displayed, the operator can then shift the midpoint of the sine bell function toward the S/N (left) part of the FID, until the best compromise is reached between sensitivity and resolution. It is important for the operator to remember that the weighting function must have a zero value at the right end of the FID so that it drives the FID to zero intensity at the end of (i) in 2 and (ii) the effective (ni/swi) in i. 

In addition to drug information products. First DataBank has developed several interactive software products intended for direct use by healthcare specialists, including nutritionists and physicians.
