QIBA for Radiologists

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).

Radiologists benefit from QIBA by:

• having repeatable, comparable quantitative measurements to guide clinical decisions

• facilitating improved patient care by means of reproducible quantitative analysis
• facilitating comparison of data across sites that conform to QIBA Profiles

• harmonizing standardized protocols and QA procedures for clinical practice and clinical trials

Radiologists participate in QIBA Profiles by:

• meeting requirements assigned to the Radiologist in a given QIBA Profile
• assessing their conformance as described in the QIBA Profile checklist
• documenting their conformance in a formal QIBA Conformance Statement

Radiologists may also:

• communicate conformance to clinical trials or accreditation bodies
• advocate for the patient benefits of quantitative imaging and support QIBA conformance of their site
