Visual search errors are persistent in a laboratory analog of the incidental finding problem

Cognitive Research, 2020
When radiologists search for a specific target (e.g., lung cancer), they are also asked to report any other clinically significant “incidental findings” (e.g., pneumonia). These incidental findings are missed at an undesirably high rate.
