An introductory guide to statistics for the radiologist

Abstract

Radiology generates both qualitative and quantitative data. As a consequence, statistical analysis is essential to validate data interpretation, and support reliable conclusions. Statistics serves as a cornerstone of radiology research, objectively verifying observations and establishing relationships between variables. This article provides a practical guide to basic statistical methods for radiology researchers, enabling them to structure their analyses more effectively and highlight their findings in a meaningful way. Although not exhaustive, this article covers basic statistical principles.
