<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT MEDICAL IMAGE PERCEPTION RESEARCH<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">At the Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">Investigators conducting research on medical image perception know that it can be difficult to attract radiologists or other experts to participate as experimental observers. Last year,
with RSNA support the NIH National Cancer Institute (NCI) funded the Perception Lab in the Learning Center of the RSNA annual meeting in Chicago. Nine labs tested over 170 radiologists. We are happy to announce Year 2 of the Perception Lab will run from
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">Nov. 26 to Dec 1 at RSNA in the McCormack Center in Chicago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">At the Perception Lab, you can test radiologists and others on relatively brief experiments (~30 minutes maximum). The annual RSNA meeting provides an unparalleled pool of potential participants:
attendance is upwards of 50,000, including ~25,000 professionals in some aspect of radiology. We are inviting applications for investigators to participate in this venture.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">APPLICATION: DEADLINE: AUG 1, 2017 – DECISIONS BY SEPT. 15<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">Facilities: There will be six small, darkened testing areas. Each will be equipped with a desk, two chairs, two 47-inch monitors (Samsung LN-T4665F, color with VGA and HDMI, 1920 x 1080
pixels), power, and internet access. There will be a registration/waiting area. RSNA will provide some help in recruiting observers and with general publicity. In addition, registration fees for the meeting will be waived for participating researchers. Individual
researchers will need to provide any equipment other than the monitors described above (e.g., medical grade monitors, computers, eye-trackers). You will also need to provide personnel to carry out the experiment. Finally, investigators will be responsible
for providing any incentives for their participants, if applicable (e.g., entering them in a lottery to win an iPad). Questions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">Application: To apply for time and space:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">1) Provide contact information for the PI and for any researcher(s) who you plan to send to the meeting. Include their position (postdoc, research assistant, etc.) office address, cell
phone contact, and email. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">2) Please provide 1-2 pages of prose (exclusive of figures and references) including:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> a) Abstract briefly describing the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> b) Significance statement describing why this is worth doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> c) Brief Background and Methods.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> d) Statement of your requirements: We will allocate time in six, two-hour slots from 9-5 each day of the meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">i) How many participants do you hope to test?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">ii) How much time do you need with each participant? Keep in mind that your observers will probably be willing to give you no more than 30 min of time for an experiment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">iii) Based on your answers to (i) and (ii), how many blocks do you request?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">iv) What are the desired qualifications for your observers (e.g., level of experience)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">If your project is accepted we will need:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> 1) A brief paragraph explaining what the participants can expect to do in the study (e.g., reading N chest x-rays) and the potential benefit to the participants. What
might they learn? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> 2) A statement about how you plan to reward participants if applicable (e.g., lottery for an iPad, box of chocolate).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> 3) A description of recruitment strategies you will use. We will collaborate with RSNA for general publicity but if individual projects have ideas about how to bring
in participants this can help all of us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"> 4) Proof of IRB approval from your institution.
