Issues that shape the invention of new medical devices and affect their introduction and use are explored in this volume.

Christian health care professionals in our secular and pluralistic society often face uncertainty about the place religious faith holds in today\'s medical practice. Through an examination of a virtue-based ethics, this book proposes a theological view of medical ethics that helps the Christian physician reconcile faith, reason, and professional duty. Edmund D. Pellegrino and David C. Thomasma trace the history of virtue in moral thought, and they examine current debate about a virtue ethic\'s place in contemporary bioethics. Their proposal balances theological ethics, based on the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, with contemporary medical ethics, based on the principles of beneficence, justice, and autonomy. The result is a theory of clinical ethics that centers on the virtue of charity and is manifest in practical moral decisions. Using Christian bioethical principles, the authors address today\'s divisive issues in medicine. For health care providers and all those involved in the fields of ethics and religion, this volume shows how faith and reason can combine to create the best possible healing relationship between health care professional and patient.

Then the scope expands to cover the more advanced topics of verification bias, diagnostic tests with imperfect gold standards, and those for which no gold standard is available.Promoting accuracy and efficiency of clinical trials, tests, and the diagnostic process, this book:Enables the user to efficiently apply prior information via a WinBUGS package Presents many ideas for the first time and goes far beyond the two standard references Integrates reader agreement with different modalities--X-ray, CT Scanners, and more--to study their effect on medical test accuracy Provides practical chapter-end problemsUseful for graduate students and consulting statisticians working in the various areas of diagnostic medicine and study design, this practical resource introduces the fundamentals of programming and executing BUGS, giving readers the tools and experience to successfully analyze studies for medical test accuracy. \'the research which Pendleton and his colleagues have done is high class and relevant.
