QIBA Conformance Certificate Services and Self-Attestation Procedures

QIBA Self Attestation Conformance Certification Conformance Marks

QIBA® is now supporting both new conformance testing services and self-attestation procedures to help clinical sites and imaging CROs (Core Labs) demonstrate they can achieve high-quality quantitative imaging results. A clinical site, or CRO, that achieves QIBA Profile specifications for a given Profile can receive a QIBA Conformance Mark (Certification or Self-Attestation) that can be used to distinguish itself as performing quantitative imaging studies with high levels of precision. Scanner and analysis software vendors can also obtain the QIBA Conformance Marks to certify their specific medical device(s) or software has been tested and has demonstrated conformance with a given QIBA Profile. 

Profiles that have reached the Consensus Stage and have developed either a Self-Attestation Procedure or a Conformance Certification Service (including an image quality assessment phantom and online phantom analysis services) are eligible.
