Abstract
Physicians interpreting medical images are expected to adjust display parameters on a routine basis, a skill which is generally not explicitly taught. This study examines the effects of perceptual training (PT) on windowing and leveling images and subject ability to identify pulmonary nodules on chest radiographs. Subjects were also given surveys on the perceived value of the PT. There was a statistically significant improvement in nodule identification for both control and experimental groups. Survey results were significantly positive for all questions. These results suggest there is a role for PT on windowing and leveling medical images.
