MEPROCS Framework Validation

The purpose of this study is to validate the CFS framework developed during the last 2½ years and agreed by the MEPROCS consortium. Thus, all partners will be asked to deal with a variable (according to their availability and time constraints) number of CFS cases (positives and negatives) following all the recommendations collected within the framework referring to the procedure and the materials, the set of landmarks and criteria, the decision gradual system, and the requirements of the technical equipment. Individual and average performance will be compared with the performance achieved in Chap. 7 to check for a possible improvement as a consequence of following MEPROCS framework. Although a large number of cases have to be tackled within a significant reliability study, the current analysis will also serve to give an idea of the reliability of the methodology proposed. In addition, it can be also useful to study the influence of the technological means employed and the knowledge and experience of the practitioner performing the superimpositions.
