<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Recruiting radiologists, pathologists, and other experts to participate as observers in medical image perception studies is always a challenge. Like all human studies, this has only gotten more
difficult thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
