## Integration Points

### ML Pipeline Integration
```python
# Integration with existing ML pipeline
from src.inference.inference import TumorPredictor
from src.evaluation.evaluate import ModelEvaluator
from src.training.trainer import ModelTrainer

class MLService:
    def __init__(self):
        self.predictor = TumorPredictor(model_path, config_path)
        self.evaluator = ModelEvaluator(model, device)
    
    async def predict_tumor(self, dicom_path: str) -> dict:
        """Run inference on uploaded DICOM"""
        result = self.predictor.predict_single(dicom_path)
        return self.format_for_gui(result)
    
    async def batch_predict(self, dicom_paths: list) -> list:
        """Process multiple DICOM files"""
        return self.predictor.predict_batch(dicom_paths)
```

### DICOM Integration
```python
import pydicom
from pydicom.dataset import Dataset

class DICOMService:
    @staticmethod
    def parse_dicom(file_path: str) -> dict:
        """Extract metadata from DICOM file"""
        ds = pydicom.dcmread(file_path)
        return {
            'patient_id': ds.PatientID,
            'study_uid': ds.StudyInstanceUID,
            'series_uid': ds.SeriesInstanceUID,
            'modality': ds.Modality,
            'study_date': ds.StudyDate,
            'pixel_array': ds.pixel_array.tolist()
        }
```

## User Experience Design

### Primary User Personas
1. **Radiologist** - Reviews AI findings, generates reports
2. **Technician** - Uploads scans, monitors processing
3. **Researcher** - Analyzes trends, compares models
4. **Administrator** - Manages users, system configuration

### Key User Journeys
1. **Upload and Process Study** - Drag-and-drop DICOM upload → AI processing → Results review
2. **Generate Clinical Report** - Select study → Review AI findings → Generate report → Export
3. **Longitudinal Analysis** - Compare multiple time points → Track progression → Generate trends
4. **Model Management** - Upload new model → Deploy → Monitor performance

## Success Metrics

### Technical Metrics
- **Page Load Time** < 2 seconds
- **Image Rendering** < 5 seconds for large DICOM
- **API Response Time** < 500ms for most endpoints
- **Uptime** > 99.5%

### Clinical Metrics
- **Time to Report** - Reduce reporting time by 50%
- **Diagnostic Accuracy** - Maintain or improve accuracy with AI assistance
- **User Adoption** - >80% of users actively using system
- **Clinical Workflow Integration** - <30 seconds to review AI findings

## Risk Mitigation

### Technical Risks
- **Large DICOM Files** - Implement progressive loading and compression
- **Model Inference Time** - Use GPU acceleration and model optimization
- **Concurrent Users** - Horizontal scaling with load balancers
- **Data Storage** - Implement archival strategies for old studies

### Clinical Risks
- **False Positives/Negatives** - Clear confidence indicators and mandatory review
- **Workflow Disruption** - Gradual rollout with extensive training
- **Regulatory Compliance** - Regular compliance audits and updates

## Next Steps

### Immediate Actions (This Week)
1. Set up development environment for GUI
2. Create basic FastAPI backend structure
3. Initialize React frontend with basic routing
4. Set up development database

### Phase 1 Deliverables (Week 2)
1. Working authentication system
2. Basic dashboard with navigation
3. Simple DICOM upload interface
4. Integration with existing ML pipeline

This comprehensive plan provides a roadmap for developing a production-ready GUI interface that addresses the critical missing component identified in the STEPS.md - clinical integration through user-friendly interfaces.
