The recurrent observation of wide reader variation in diagnostic imaging (1–3) has motivated investigators to study human image perception in hopes of gaining some insight into the sources of variability and finding ways to improve performance. The exploration of the perceptual causes of error in image interpretation began in 1961 when Tuddenham and Calvert (4) published a study of the visual search of chest images that started a research track that has continued to the present day. The article by Rubin et al (5) in this issue of Radiology takes the concepts and models for visual search that were developed for planar images and applies them to computed tomographic (CT) images displayed in a three-dimensional cine mode.
