QUANTITATIVE IMAGING and IMAGING BIOMARKERS

The QIBA mission is to improve the value and practicality of quantitative imaging biomarkers by reducing variability across devices, patients and time. Simply put, the emphasis is on building "measuring devices" rather than "imaging devices."

QIBA is an initiative to advance quantitative imaging and the use of imaging biomarkers in clinical trials and clinical practice by engaging researchers, healthcare professionals and industry . This involves:

• collaborating to identify needs, barriers, and solutions to develop and test consistent, reliable, valid, and achievable quantitative imaging results across imaging platforms, clinical sites, and time.
• accelerating the development and adoption of hardware and software standards needed to achieve accurate and reproducible quantitative results from imaging methods.
