Humans search for specific targets in complex scenes to navigate the world. This ability to search is integral to survival in many ways, from its most basic role in hunting and gathering to its more advanced application to the detection of medical conditions in the field of radiology. According to previous research, the ability to search efficiently in a visual task can be learned over time. Despite sufficient evidence, in this paper, we recognize numerous findings that support the presence of greater learning and confidence curves in 3D versus 2D image search. The study of such learning patterns is important to the field of medicine as we hope to train radiologists to be as efficient, accurate, and confident as possible.

    Plexus (2025)

    UC Irvine School of MedicineWelcome to the 26th issue of PLEXUS, UC Irvine School of Medicine’s Journal of Medical Humanities & Arts. PLEXUS is an annual, medical-student-organized publication that proudly showcases the vast talents, diverse perspectives, and nuanced experiences of the greater UCI Health community through art. It is our mission to spark introspection, catalyze meaningful discussions, and ultimately apply the tenets of medical humanities to foster a cohort of compassionate healers.

    This year, we present to you MOMENTUM. Whether it is the persistence of a heartbeat, the individual steps that accumulate into seismic shifts, or the tidal surge of collective efforts, momentum surrounds us. It is the wave of progress, the rush of breakthroughs, and the everyday moments that coalesce into transformative change— the flows, eddies, and vectors that define our lives and serve as the undercurrents to our stories. We sought to explore the momentum that shapes our journeys in healthcare, as students, physicians, and patients. We sought to define the very moments that push and pull us forward, past the swirling tides of uncertainty.

    We sincerely thank our advisors Dr. Juliet McMullin, Dr. Tan Nguyen, and Leonora Naser-Saravia for their guidance, and the UCISOM Medical Humanities & Arts Program and Department of Family Medicine for their steadfast support. We hope the following pages offer you a sense of solace, inspiration, and fulfillment.
