摘要：

The field of clinical research conducted to evaluate diagnostic tests has evolved substantially over the last 25 years. This article discusses three current challenges and opportunities in conducting such research: the limitations of the "traditional focus" of clinical epidemiology in evaluating tests; how different decision makers use data produced by clinical epidemiology research, and what those uses mean for future research; and special challenges and opportunities in evaluating molecular-based tests.
