Abstract:
|
Although information from imaging has long been an integral part of health care, the evaluation of imaging modalities in the multicenter setting is a relatively recent development. Such studies assess the performance of imaging modalities for early detection, diagnosis, staging, and for monitoring and management of patient therapy. In this presentation we will discuss the design, conduct and analysis of multicenter studies of imaging modalities. We will highlight issues specific to imaging and will place emphasis on the most recent types of studies evaluating imaging as a biomarker for disease progression and response to therapy. The studies of imaging in cancer conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network will be used as the main source of examples.
