View source for QIBA for Imaging Vendors

'''QIBA Mission: Improve the value and practicality of quantitative imaging biomarkers by reducing variability across devices, sites, patients, and time.'''

QIBA develops [[Profiles | Profile documents]] that standardize methods for creating a specific biomarker with predictable performance (accuracy and reproducibility).


Vendors of imaging devices benefit from QIBA by:
* promoting the ability of their product to meet requirements desirable to their customers


Imaging Device Vendors use QIBA by:
* implementing features and meeting performance requirements assigned to the Acquisition Modality (and sometimes Reconstruction Software) in the QIBA Profile
* assessing their conformance as described in the QIBA Profile checklist
* publishing a formal QIBA Conformance Statement documenting their product conformance to a given QIBA profile
* communicating conformance to customers by providing the QIBA Conformance Statement
* potentially supporting the activity of customers working to assess their own conformance to the QIBA profile
