The document discusses the importance of MRI protocol validation and quality assurance for routine clinical practice and biomarker development. It highlights the services provided by HQ Imaging, including the development of specialized diffusion-weighted imaging phantoms and automatic quality assurance reporting. Recommendations from a professional at the German Cancer Research Center underscore the need for regular MRI quality assurance to limit variance in imaging results.

9. “We continuously work on the development of new imaging biomarkers
including their translation from research into clinics. Therefore, potential
sources of variance have to be limited as much as possible and regular
MRI quality assurance is required. All necessary MRI QA procedures were
implemented in our department by the experts from HQ Imaging and
are still regularly used. I fully recommend the HQ Imaging QA services to
anyone working in the field.”
