ABSTRACT: The validation of medical imaging (processing and acquisition) can be achieved in multiple ways, somewhat influenced by the context. There are three traps to avoid: First reliance on ground truth requires the knowledge of it before the end of the trial, second comparison to gold standards cannot show improvement and finally one needs to deal with confirmation bias. In this paper we discuss those topics and alternative validation schemes.
