Abstract

Comparative effectiveness research is designed to help patients, physicians and policymakers choose the best medical option among alternative diagnostic and interventional strategies. In this commentary, we provide a brief overview of comparative effectiveness research, discuss some of the challenges to applying it in pediatric radiology, and give several reasons behind the continued push for more comparative effectiveness research by governmental and other funding agencies.
