Image Quality & Site Compliance Monitoring

Every image that arrives at MMI is reviewed to ensure consistency in quality and compliance to imaging protocols. We understand better than anyone that high-quality imaging translates directly to high quality, reliable imaging outcomes.

Quality Images In Quality Data Out

MMI understands the critical need for acquiring high-quality imaging that is consistent across sites for your study. Throughout the study, we monitor sites for ongoing compliance to imaging protocols. As images are received, our analysts and qualified radiologic technicians conduct systematic checks for labeling and quality, including but not limited to correct demographic information, proper subject positioning, proper acquisition parameters, missing images, adequate image quality (contrast, resolution, centering, field-of-view, etc.), and appropriate use of image calibration devices.

MMI provides timely notification of errors in image quality and labeling to minimize mislabeled or non-evaluable images. We promptly notify sites of discrepancies in image labeling and quality and provide valuable feedback for improvements. Discrepancies are resolved through direct communication with the site and sponsor, and all queries are electronically documented and tracked in our discrepancy management system to assure timely follow-up and close-out. Cumulative discrepancy reports may also be generated upon request to identify sites with systematic deviations requiring further training.
