QIBA for Technologists

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

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

Technologists benefit from QIBA by:

• Having standardized protocols and QA procedures to follow
• Acquiring imaging data in a way that enables extraction of quantitative data
• Being able to support improved patient care that benefits through quantitative analysis
• Aligning data acquisition across sites that facilitates cross-comparison and permits performance assessment

Technologists use QIBA by:

• meeting the requirements (performing tasks and achieving performance targets) assigned to the Technologist or Scanner Operator actors in the QIBA Profile
• assessing their conformance as described in the QIBA Profile checklist
• documenting their conformance by self-attestation or credentialing service
• supporting conformance of their site
