Abstract
A critical endeavor in every health-related field is the continued development of new technologies and instrumentation for improving diagnosis and treatment. For example, the field of neuroimaging has made astonishing advances with procedures such as functional MRI, MR spectroscopy, and MR diffusion tensor imaging. The field of neuropsychology has also recognized the importance of continually striving to develop new, more sensitive clinical measures. At the same time, the development of new tests or procedures does not guarantee that the instruments represent improvements in diagnosis or treatment. For this reason, ongoing studies of reliability and validity of new diagnostic instruments are also an important part of research in all health-related fields.Keywords
