ABSTRACT
This book is about how to use Bayesian statistical methods to design and analyze studies involving diagnostic medicine. It grew out of the author’s experience in consulting with many investigators of the Division of Diagnostic Imaging at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) in Houston. In a modern medical center, diagnostic imaging is ubiquitous and crucial for patient management, from the initial diagnosis to assessing the extent of disease as the patient is being treated.
