For the last two years support from the NIH National Cancer Institute (NCI) has funded the Perception Lab in the Learning Center of the RSNA annual meeting in Chicago. Last year, fourteen labs tested over 200 radiologists. We are happy to announce Year 3 of the Perception Lab will run from:</span> <font color="#009051" class=""><b class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14pt;">Nov. 25<sup class="">th</sup> to Nov. 30<sup class="">th</sup> at RSNA in the McCormick Place in Chicago.</span></b><b class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b class=""><i class=""><u class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 16pt;"><font color="#941100" class="">NEW in 2018:</font></span></u></i><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> </span></b><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">In addition, if we get NCI funding, this year a similar opportunity will be available at the</span> <b class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14pt;"><font color="#531b93" class="">ASCP Annual Meeting, Oct 3<sup class="">rd</sup> – 5<sup class="">th</sup> at the Baltimore Convention Center.</font></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">At the RSNA Perception Lab, you can test radiologists and others on relatively brief experiments (~30 minutes maximum). The annual RSNA meeting provides an unparalleled pool of potential participants: attendance is upwards of 50,000, including ~25,000 professionals in some aspect of radiology.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">The ASCP Perception Lab is a new venture that will run on the same principle. Here you will be able to recruit observers from among the approximately 2,000 pathologists, residents, and lab professionals in attendance.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">We are inviting applications for investigators to participate in either lab…or both.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Applications by Aug 15 (or, at least, tell us your application is coming).
