# Medical Image Perception Society XIX Conference

> **NIH NIH R13** · EMORY UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $10,000

## Abstract

MIPS XIX brings together an international community of experts from different fields including
radiologists, pathologists, other image-based clinicians, psychologists, statisticians, physicists,
engineers, and computer scientists, all investigating the extraction of diagnostic information from
medical images. The meeting forges research and learning opportunities for new trainees and
young researchers in a dedicated multidisciplinary forum unmatched by other meetings. MIPS
XIX is being organized by the Medical Image Perception Society (a US-based society; Elizabeth
Krupinski, PhD President) in conjunction with local hosts Karla Evans, PhD (University of York
Psychology) and Mark McEntee, PhD (University College Cork Clinical Therapies); and
committee (University of York) trainee member Emma Raat. It will run July 19-21, 2021 at the
Novatel York Centre located near the University of York campus. Nine topic areas have been
selected for MIPS XIX, reflecting important dimensions of medical image interpretation. This
year’s special focus themes are 1) Improving Diagnostic & Screening Performance (or
outcomes) in Radiology Using Human & Machine Expertise and 2) Technological & Human
Interventions for Enhancing Medical Image Perception. Studying how clinicians extract
diagnostic information from images identifies the causes of missed diagnoses and ways to
eliminate these errors. Careful design and evaluation of imaging systems are critical in view of
their enormous costs. With the current emphasis in the practice of medicine on “meaningful use”
and “accountable care” to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of care, the role the
clinician as decision-maker cannot be ignored. Medical image perception research develops
and applies modern methods to the evaluation of observer performance in diagnostic imaging
tasks. Understanding basic aspects of the perception of medical images can reduce diagnostic
error and improve medical decision-making quality. This grant will support 10 students to attend
and present their research at MIPS XIX. To date, 122 students have been awarded
scholarships. The primary goal in supporting these students is to create opportunities and offer
supportive mentoring at this formative stage in the trainee’s career to enhance their research
potential and likelihood of success.
