<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="" style="font-size:14px">Investigators conducting research on medical image perception know that it can be difficult to recruit radiologists or other experts to participate in their studies. We
are happy to announce there will be a Medical Image Perception Lab from <b class="">
March 1 to 5, 2023, at the </b><b class="">European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Austria</b><b class="">.</b> The lab is a shared facility allowing multiple investigators to collect data from interested radiologists/expert observers. The 2022 debut
of the Medical Image Perception Lab at ECR was a great success! The meeting organizers were extremely helpful and are working to make the 2023 version of the lab even better. This is also an opportunity to meet other medical image perception researchers from
around the world. Details below.<b class=""></b></span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="" style="font-size:14px">If you are interested, please send us an application as soon as you can. We will review these and get back to you on a rolling basis.</span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b class=""><i class="">Facilities:
</i></b><i class="">There will be six small, darkened testing areas in what should be a high traffic area at the meeting. Each room will be equipped with a desk, two chairs, two monitors, power, and internet access. We may be able to get the loan of some medical-grade
monitors. In addition, there will be tables in an open area with power and wireless internet. Many labs have found that they can test observers in these more casual environments. Registration fees for the meeting will be waived for 2-3 participating researchers
per lab. Individual researchers will need to provide any equipment other than the monitors described above (i.e., you need to make arrangements if you need medical grade monitors, computers, eye-trackers, etc.). You will also need to provide personnel to carry
out the experiment. Finally, investigators will be asked to contribute a modest amount to a fund that will cover expenses (e.g. The Official T-shirt … important for recruiting).</i></p>
