The path from bench to bedside of QIBs involves researchers from many disciplines, and provides numerous opportunities for physics to inform approaches and improve the reliability of imaging. Bench scientists ensure that QIBs can be traced to primary standards, developing measurement infrastructure to establish ground truth values for reference materials and objects, known as phantoms. The Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (QIBA) is composed of stakeholders including equipment vendor and pharmaceutical representatives, statisticians, clinicians, technologists, and physicists. QIBA develops and promulgates standards-based documents known as Profiles that harmonize data acquisition and analysis, and which utilize reference standards, both physical and digital, to assess end users’ ability to conform to the Profile. The use of QIBA Profiles in clinical trials and clinical practice, backed by sound measurement science, can improve reproducibility of results, enhancing patient care and outcomes.
