Discussion on the Construction Method of Clinical Application Evaluation Platform for Multi-Center Medical Imaging Equipment
Objective To establish a clinical application evaluation platform for multi-center medical imaging equipment by building primary and secondary information centers.Methods The clinical application data of medical imaging equipment was obtained through a secondary information center.The raw data was desensitized using methods such as data collection,data governance,and indicator design.Through data space management and data space testing verification techniques,the desensitized data was transmitted to the primary information center.The primary information center designed analysis algorithms based on the clinical application evaluation criteria for medical imaging equipment to evaluate the clinical application of the equipment.Results A number of secondary information centers transmitted standardized data listed to the primary information center through data space management technology,and was able to analyze and evaluate the reliability,availability,functional effect,equipment performance and operating efficiency of medical imaging equipment.Users could intuitively understand the clinical applicability evaluation results of various medical imaging equipment brands through the results displayed on the primary information platform.Taking PET/MR as an example,from the perspective of individual ratings,the reliability evaluation of A brand equipment was 99.69%,and the reliability evaluation of B brand equipment was 98.37%,the reliability of A brand equipment was slightly higher than that of B brand equipment.Taking MRI as an example,the advanced function application rates among the three brands in August 2024 was 61%,47%,and 38%,respectively.According to the rank sum test,there was no significant difference in the advanced function application rates among the three brands of MRI(P=0.53).Conclusion The construction of clinical application evaluation platform for multi-center medical imaging equipment can provide systematic technical solutions and platform-wise support for medical institutions to select and verify medical imaging equipment,can provide data support for promoting the quality improvement of domestic-made medical imaging equipment,and can provide research data and basic sharing service platform-wise support for establishing and improving standards and standardized systems on the reliability,clinical application verification and maintenance of domestic-made medical imaging equipment.
