Synopsis

Keywords: Quantitative Imaging, Challenges, Consensus

A web-based survey was developed from the “Steps on the Path to Clinical Translation” workshop, at the British & Irish Chapter-ISMRM conference held on 7^th September 2022. The survey explored the UK MRI community’s perspective on the clinical translation of quantitative MR imaging biomarkers. Three main themes emerged from the results: the need for 1) consensus; continued development of resources that unite existing work and improve shared lexicon; 2) context dependency; defining the steps to clinical translation, in ways that appreciate the uniqueness of the imaging biomarker and the clinical question; 3) a clearer definition of imaging biomarker expectation or product profile.
