1 1996 New Technologies for Cardiac CT Geoffrey D. Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, FNASCI Duke University

2 New Technology The Long View Levels of Efficacy Endpoint Examples 1: Technical Imaging resolution 2: Diagnostic Accuracy Sensitivity/specificity 3: Diagnostic Thinking Pre- and post-test changes in subjectively determined outcome 4: Therapeutic Effects on choice of therapy 5: Patient Outcome Impact of test information on morbidity, mortality, and QALYs 6: Societal Cost-benefit/effectiveness for society Frybach & Thornbury. Med Decis Making 1991;11:88-94
