Summary

Improving the cost-effectiveness and quality of medical decision making has been the focus of Professor Fryback's primary research since 1972. Although he has special interest in evaluation of medical imaging technologies, most of his research involves learning more about methods to model disease processes and how to model and evaluate health outcomes.
