Abstract
Researchers, manuscript reviewers, and journal readers should be aware of the many potential sources of bias in radiologic studies. This article is a review of the common biases that occur in selecting patient and reader samples, choosing and applying a reference standard, performing and interpreting diagnostic examinations, and analyzing diagnostic test results. Potential implications of various biases are discussed, and practical approaches to eliminating or minimizing them are presented.
