Education effects on cognitive function in a healthy aged Arab population
Abstract Background-The Minimental State Examination (MMSE) has not been validated in Arabic speaking populations. The Brookdale Cognitive Screening Test (BCST) has been developed for use in low schooling populations.

Image perception and interpretation of abnormalities; can we believe our eyes? Can we do something about it?
The radiologist’s visual impression of images is transmitted, via non-visual means (the report), to the clinician. There are several complex steps from the perception of the images by the radiologist to the understanding of the impression by the clinician.

This paper reviews the processes of perception and error generation and possible strategies for minimising them
