Searching for lung nodules. A comparison of human performance with random and systematic scanning models.

abstract：:The potential risk of a radiologic procedure often is compared with the potential benefit of the procedure. While risk vs. benefit analysis has been useful as a step toward increased communication and understanding among radiologists, referring physicians, and the general public, it has the disadvantage that risk and ...
