 Health initiative, an interagency collaboration between NIH and NSF. While there are a number of great research opportunities in this announcement, I would particularly like to highlight a number of topics on the science of medical image perception.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 deployment of augmented reality, virtual reality, and/or 3D printing in surgical interventions; 2) Develop methods to mitigate or reduce inter- and intra-observer variability in cancer image interpretation, particularly for modalities with relatively high
 levels of variability (e.g., ultrasound); and 3) Develop new methods to study human performance in large digital image sets (e.g., whole slide imaging, 3D CT/MRI).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
