Assessing expensive diagnostic imaging technologies, especially new ones, is crucial for healthcare providers. Effective technology assessment requires simultaneous economic and clinical studies for proper selection and guidance.

Area of Science:

  • Health Technology Assessment
  • Medical Imaging
  • Healthcare Economics

Background:

  • Expensive diagnostic imaging technologies require rigorous assessment, particularly novel ones facing rapid technical change.
  • Healthcare providers must evaluate technologies for effectiveness, economic viability, appropriateness, and need before widespread adoption.
  • Existing mature technologies, excluding picture archiving and communication systems, primarily undergo cost-benefit analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical importance of technology assessment for healthcare providers.
  • To outline the essential components and timing for effective technology assessment.
  • To discuss the challenges and guidance for selecting technologies and developing predictive assessment methods.

Main Methods:
