OVERVIEW |
|
This two-hour
session will provide an overview of comparative effectiveness
research (CER) in radiology, with a focus on MRI. Speakers will
include radiologists who are experts in health policy and health
services research. CER will be defined from an imaging standpoint,
and the influence of imaging-related CER upon health policy will be
discussed from an international perspective. |
