ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how radiologists—doctors who specialize in reading x-rays—make decisions about tumors based on their past experiences with previous x-rays. Researchers have found that sometimes, what a radiologist sees in one image can be influenced by what they looked at before, which can lead to mistakes in identifying or classifying tumors. The goal of the trial is to understand these influences better and find ways to reduce their impact, ultimately improving how accurately radiologists can detect and assess tumors.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have normal vision or vision corrected with glasses or contacts. Unfortunately, if you are under 18 or if you are blind, you cannot take part in this study. If you join, you can expect to help researchers figure out how to make x-ray evaluations more reliable, and your involvement could lead to better health outcomes for patients everywhere.
