20 min
Hypothesis generation: including primary/secondary endpoints and ground truth inclusion, exclusion criteria
Laure S. Fournier, Paris / France
- To learn about introducing quantitative imaging endpoints in clinical research studies.
- To appreciate the relationship between measured biomarkers, ground truth and clinical endpoints.
- To understand the principle of reliable quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) and their relation to clinical endpoints.
20 min
Making the measurement: including precision, reproducibility, and validation
Gudrun Zahlmann, Neumarkt / Germany
- To learn about the use of metrology concepts in quantitative imaging.
- To appreciate terms like precision, accuracy, bias, reliability and reproducibility in quantitative imaging measurements.
- To understand the necessity of standardised imaging procedures for measuring QIBs.
20 min
Statistical considerations: including study type, main tests, outcome measurements, biases
Daniel Bos, Rotterdam / Netherlands
- To learn about appropriate statistical concepts for the use of QIBs in clinical research studies.
- To appreciate the accuracy and bias of QIBs and their statistical representation.
- To understand the selection of useful statistical hypotheses and tests for one or multiple biomarkers based on clinical study outcome assessment.
20 min
Practical issues: including ethics and leg funding, and planning
Michael Vinzenz Knopp, Cincinnati / United States
- To learn how to plan, manage and analyse QIB-based clinical research studies.
- To appreciate the organisational setup and requirements to provide reliable and reproducible results.
- To understand the challenges of quantitative imaging biomarker studies and how to use them successfully.
