Over the course of his long and productive career, Dr. Robert F. Wagner built a framework for the evaluation of imaging systems based on a task-based, decision theoretic approach. His most recent contributions involved the consideration of the random effects associated with multiple readers of medical images and the logical extension of this work to the problem of the evaluation of multiple competing classifiers in statistical pattern recognition. This contemporary work expanded on familiar themes from Bob's many SPIE presentations in earlier years. It was driven by the need for practical solutions to current problems facing FDA'S Center for Devices and Radiological Health and the medical imaging community regarding the assessment of new computer-aided diagnosis tools and Bob's unique ability to unify concepts across a range of disciplines as he gave order to increasingly complex problems in our field.
