“…For example, one experiment compared the observers' ability to find pulmonary nodules in different ambient noise conditions. 20 A big concern in such experiments is that memory for the first type of image viewed may affect the interpretation of the second type. Investigators use several different methods to try to decrease this effect, with one typical method being to allow a time gap between interpretations.…”

Abstract. Expertise with encoding material has been shown to aid long-term memory for that material. It is not clear how relevant this expertise is for image memorability (e.g., radiologists' memory for radiographs), and how robust over time. In two studies, we tested scene memory using a standard long-term memory paradigm. One compared the performance of radiologists to naïve observers on two image sets, chest radiographs and everyday scenes, and the other radiologists' memory with immediate as opposed to delayed recognition tests using musculoskeletal radiographs and forest scenes. Radiologists' memory was better than novices for images of expertise but no different for everyday scenes. With the heterogeneity of image sets equated, radiologists' expertise with radiographs afforded them better memory for the musculoskeletal radiographs than forest scenes. Enhanced memory for images of expertise disappeared over time, resulting in chance level performance for both image sets after weeks of delay. Expertise with the material is important for visual memorability but not to the same extent as idiosyncratic detail and variability of the image set. Similar memory decline with time for images of expertise as for everyday scenes further suggests that extended familiarity with an image is not a robust factor for visual memorability.

“…JAFROC has undergone extensive simulation validation 19,[25][26][27] and it is currently the most widely used method for analyzing FROC data. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] In common with DBM-MRMC analysis of ROC data, JAFROC uses the DBM/OR analysis of variance method for significance testing. 13,[15][16][17] Unless otherwise noted, in this paper by FROC analysis we mean JAFROC analysis.…”

“…This work is based on comparing the decisions made by individual expert screen readers regarding cases reported in the clinic with the decisions made when identical images are presented to W ithin radiology, observer performance studies have been performed to investigate the impact of factors such as prevalence (1,2), display technology (3), expertise (4,5), and environmental factors (6,7), among many others. These types of experiments often rely on test set interpretations to represent real-life clinical performance.…”
