Reader Guidance in Imaging Studies

Challenge

Image reading in clinical trials is a highly complex task and for sponsors a substantial expense factor. Software solutions with sophisticated and intuitive concepts for reader guidance are a key component to

• quickly conduct the reading phase
• achieve robust and reliable results
• reduce the need for adjudications or reassessments
• increase reader satisfaction.

 

Solution & Features

To achieve the above aims our software includes the following key features

• Integrated framework for image analysis and data management
• Web-based solution to support de-centralized readings
  
• Dedicated tools for convenient and robust 2D and 3D measurements
• Easy navigation to all findings in follow-up assessments
• Automatic checks for completeness, plausibility and conformity with the trial’s rule set (e.g. Recist, mRecist, Lugano)
• Comprehensive response grid view
• User interfaces tailored to each trial including necessary features only
• Configurability of all supported study criteria to simplify adoption for further studies without the need of a new software release.

 

Highlight

Our algorithms and concepts for reader guidance are an integral part of a framework to build customized solutions for oncological and other clinical trials. Specific implementations are successfully used by our partners for various trials in oncology.
