Objectives
- Coordinate all ESR activities concerning imaging biomarkers
- Prepare an inventory of all activities and projects in the field of imaging biomarkers where the ESR is involved
- Serve as a tool box that provides information about current projects, centres involved in clinical trials and educational activities
- Define possible imaging biomarkers in different human body regions; oncologic as well as non-oncologic
- Establish a functional biomarker profile that is current and relevant through the development of an online inventory of biomarkers
- Enable and encourage the clinical use of biomarkers by setting standards for data acquisition and image processing
- Closely collaborate with EIBIR to maintain an updated list of European centres of excellence (core institutions) for the implementation and clinical validation of imaging biomarkers
- Closely collaborate with the EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and its Imaging Group with regard to the inclusion of radiologists in multicentre trials and the development of a biomarker inventory
- Closely collaborate with QIBA (technical validation synergies) to avoid duplication of development and EORTC (biological validation) to coordinate strategies, find complementarity, and benefit from synergies

EIBALL sessions at ECR 2022
The EIBALL Subcommittee held two sessions at ECR 2022. Both can be accessed online via the ESR’s Premium Education Package:
Open Forum Session - Organised by the EIBALL (European Imaging Biomarker Alliance)
OF 12b - Imaging biomarkers: should we pay attention?
15.07.22 08:00-09:00
Joint Session of the ESR and EIBALL Subcommittee
ESR/EIBALL - Imaging biomarkers: lessons learned by/from QIBA and EIBALL:

EIBALL collaborations
EIBALL collaborates with the Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA)
QIBA is an important part of the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) commitment to transforming radiology from a qualitative to a more quantitative science and to the improved patient care resulting from accelerated development and dissemination of new pharmacologic, biologic and interventional diagnosis and treatment approaches.
