How to show that a new imaging method can replace a standard method, when no reference standard is available?

Authors: Patrick Omoumi, Nancy A. Obuchowski

Published in: European Radiology | Issue 4/2022

Excerpt

Assessing the performance of a new diagnostic method is a common problem in radiology. With technical advances impacting image acquisition and post-processing, including applications of artificial intelligence, newer ways to perform imaging have emerged and need to be compared to the methods of reference. …
