Abstract

Retrospectively obvious events are frequently missed when attention is engaged in another task-a phenomenon known as inattentional blindness. Although the task characteristics that predict inattentional blindness rates are relatively well understood, the observer characteristics that predict inattentional blindness rates are largely unknown. Previously, expert radiologists showed a surprising rate of inattentional blindness to a gorilla photoshopped into a CT scan during lung-cancer screening. However, inattentional blindness rates were higher for a group of naïve observers performing the same task, suggesting that perceptual expertise may provide protection against inattentional blindness. Here, we tested whether expertise in radiology predicts inattentional blindness rates for unexpected abnormalities that were clinically relevant. Fifty radiologists evaluated CT scans for lung cancer. The final case contained a large (9.1 cm) breast mass and lymphadenopathy. When their attention was focused on searching for lung nodules, 66% of radiologists did not detect breast cancer and 30% did not detect lymphadenopathy. In contrast, only 3% and 10% of radiologists (N = 30), respectively, missed these abnormalities in a follow-up study when searching for a broader range of abnormalities. Neither experience, primary task performance, nor search behavior predicted which radiologists missed the unexpected abnormalities. These findings suggest perceptual expertise does not protect against inattentional blindness, even for unexpected stimuli that are within the domain of expertise.

21. Combining Multistaged Filters and Modified Segmentation Network for Improving Lung Nodules Classification

Author

Gunawan, Rudy, Tran, Yvonne, Zheng, Jinchuan, Nguyen, Hung, Carrigan, Ann, Mills, Megan K., and Chai, Rifai

Abstract

Advancements in computational technology have led to a shift towards automated detection processes in lung cancer screening, particularly through nodule segmentation techniques. These techniques employ thresholding to distinguish between soft and firm tissues, including cancerous nodules. The challenge of accurately detecting nodules close to critical lung structures such as blood vessels, bronchi, and the pleura highlights the necessity for more sophisticated methods to enhance diagnostic accuracy. This paper proposed combined processing filters for data preparation before using one of the modified Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as the classifier. With refined filters, the nodule targets are solid, semi-solid, and ground glass, ranging from low-stage cancer (cancer screening data) to high-stage cancer. Furthermore, two additional works were added to address juxta-pleural nodules while the pre-processing end and classification are done in a 3-dimensional domain in opposition to the usual image classification. The accuracy output indicates that even using a simple Segmentation Network if modified correctly, can improve the classification result compared to the other eight models. The proposed sequence total accuracy reached 99.7%, with 99.71% cancer class accuracy and 99.82% non-cancer accuracy, much higher than any previous research, which can improve the detection efforts of the radiologist.

Abstract

PURPOSE Access to family planning health services in Canada has been historically inadequate and inequitable. A potential solution appeared when Health Canada approved mifepristone, the gold standard for medical abortion, in July 2015. We sought to investigate the factors that influence successful initiation and ongoing provision of medical abortion services among Canadian health professionals and how these factors relate to abortion policies, systems, and service access throughout Canada. METHODS We conducted 1 -on-1 semistructured interviews with a national sample of abortion-providing and nonproviding physicians and health system stakeholders in Canadian health care settings. Our data collection, thematic analysis, and interpretation were guided by Diffusion of Innovation theory. RESULTS We conducted interviews with 90 participants including rural practitioners and those with no previous abortion experience. In the course of our study, Health Canada removed mifepristone restrictions. Our results suggest that Health Canada's initial restrictions discouraged physicians from providing mifepristone and were inconsistent with provincial licensing standards, thereby limiting patient access. Once deregulated, remaining factors were primarily related to local and regional implementation processes. Participants held strong perceptions that mifepristone was the new standard of care for medical abortion in Canada and within the scope of primary care practice. CONCLUSION Health Canada's removal of mifepristone restrictions facilitated the implementation of abortion care in the primary care setting. Our results are unique because Canada is the first country to facilitate provision of medical abortion in primary care via evidence-based deregulation of mifepristone. Key words: abortion; family planning; health policy; health services accessibility; implementation; qualitative research; interview, INTRODUCTION Approximately 40% of pregnancies in Canada are unplanned, and 1 in 3 Canadian women will have at least 1 abortion in their lifetime.
