Medical imaging is a complex field driven by advances in technology, yet without the human observer to make sense of the images acquired and convey to other health care providers and patients their perceptions of what those images reveal about disease processes, there is no impact on patient health and outcomes. The evolving role of medical image perception research, its impact on technology development, deployment, and use, where future opportunities exist for medical image perception investigations, and what types of collaborations may further enhance our visibility and impact clinically will continue to play a critical role in improving the efficacy and efficiency of healthcare and patient outcomes.
