Observer Performance Methods for Diagnostic Imaging

Download or read book Observer Performance Methods for Diagnostic Imaging written by Dev P. Chakraborty and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gives an accessible overview of R programming for medical imaging and the methods of observer performance testing. Explains the fundamental statistical concepts. Reinforces learning using worked problems and R software code, in addition to examples that utilize standalone ROC software. Starts with basic ROC analysis and builds to extensions of ROC methods for solving more complex but clinically realistic tasks. Emphasizes psychophysical models of observer performance (e.g., binormal model, contaminated binormal model, proper ROC model), and demonstrates how they can give better results than from purely statistical approaches.
