“Quality is generally transparent when present, but easily recognized in its absence.”
Alan Gillies
This is a tenet that Qmetrics holds well to in all of its work. We know high precision analysis requires high quality data. Particularly if data will be analyzed using AI, harmonization of image data across all sites is critical.
Qmetrics offers products and services to improve the quality of image data collected at trial sites which in turn provides optimized analytical results from that data.
Site Selection and Qualification
- Thorough site qualification is crucial to ensure the best quality image data is captured. Qmetrics’ site selection process includes:
- Site questionnaire submitted to show site’s imaging equipment (MRI protocol is written based on the site’s approved questionnaire)
- MRI & X-Ray Image acquisition training session via live web presentation
- Image upload training to use Qmetrics web portal via live web presentation
- UAL phantom scan submitted and approved (for MRI sites only)
- Volunteer scan submitted and approved (for MRI sites only)
Qmetrics Footrest
- Qmetrics footrest is designed to provide a secure anchor for patients’ feet to be taped during an imaging study, reducing any “wiggling,” which may compromise the quality of the scan.

UAL Phantom
- Designed by the experts at Qmetrics to ensure ease of use:
- Large filling ports, handles, and seamless tub
