Synopsis
This talk discusses implementation science in MRI, which promotes the uptake of research and other evidence-based imaging studies into routine, clinical practice. Barriers to adaptation of emerging imaging technology include variability across scanners and sites such as magnetic field strengths, protocols, MR vendor and model types. Linearity, bias, and precision of measurements are needed for consistent, patient-specific management according to Radiology Society of North America’s Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (QIBA). (1-3) Quantitative imaging markers are needed for precision health, but determination of “ground truth” and lack of a clear road map limit impact currently.

To accelerate adaptation of research into routine practice, products must address a clinical need, establish diagnostic values across all MR scanners and field strengths, be robust, and easy to reconstruct and interpret. Emerging technology ideally should be evidence-based and add value. Acknowledgements
