Because of the importance of biomarkers within medicine as a whole and the increasing realisation that imaging can safely provide biomarkers, the ESR executive commissioned this report by experts in the field. It is hoped that further awareness amongst our community will contibute to further exploitation of the enormous wealth of biomaker information available in our day to day imaging. The all important issues surrounding validation and standardisation are discussed, together with proposals for a European Network on Imaging Biomarkers to oversee such aspects.
鉴于生物标志物在整个医学领域的重要性,以及人们越来越认识到成像能够安全地提供生物标志物,欧洲放射学会(ESR)管理层委托该领域的专家撰写了本报告。希望我们这个群体能进一步提高认识,从而有助于进一步利用日常成像中大量可用的生物标志物信息。文中讨论了围绕验证和标准化的所有重要问题,以及关于建立一个欧洲成像生物标志物网络以监督这些方面的提议。
