Central imaging in clinical trials

Why is central imaging important in clinical trials?

Central imaging is crucial in clinical trials as it ensures consistency in image acquisition and interpretation across multiple sites. By standardizing processes, it reduces variability, minimizes reader bias, and enhances data quality.

This approach improves the reliability of imaging endpoints, making them more robust for statistical analysis. Moreover, central imaging plays a key role in supporting regulatory submissions by ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and traceability of data.

With a centralized system, you can confidently present consistent, high-quality imaging results that meet the stringent requirements of regulatory authorities.
