【 摘 要 】

Although there have been great advances in understanding radiological expertise, in particular the type of errors made, there is still a limited understanding of the underlying processes that are involved in accurate medical image perception and to date the medical image perception and vision science literatures have largely developed separately. In this Research Topic, therefore, we set out six clear aims, and despite only having four accepted papers, because they have taken four distinct approaches to the Topic we have met most of the aims. This is an important area of research as demonstrated by the concurrent special issues relating to medical image perception such as this Topic (Frontline Learning Research and Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications). All calls make the point that this is an opportunity to bring together previously separate lines of research to gain greater understanding about a subject which has real world implications for medical health care.
