Residents and fellows in radiology—Annual memorial award competition: $1,000 honorarium
SIEGLE
Vol. 2, No. 5, May 1995
ically irrelevant. For example, this journal has a policy of not accepting for publication phase III clinical trials of contrast agents unless they show unexpected results. (3) The language of discussion could use more order. There is often a tendency to accentuate small differences in results. Instead, clinical significance in studies evaluating techniques or imaging parameters needs to be accentuated.
In summary, this is not an exhortation to more outcome research and technology assessment, nor is it an attempt to denigrate previously acceptable standards for scholarly work. Rather, it is the encouragement to observe the changes occurring in clinical work and make the scholarly work reflect the changes encouraged by the shift from cost-plus medicine to cost-effective medicine.
