Request for Information (RFI) on Future Needs for Medical Metrology and Standards for Medical Imaging, Devices, Diagnostics and Therapy

Commerce Department, National Institute of Standards and Technology

Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), are requesting input from stakeholders in order to gain a better understanding of the future needs for medical metrology and standards around medical imaging, devices, and diagnostics. This request for information is coordinated with a NIST/NIBIB Symposium on Medical Metrology and Standards for American Healthcare and Commerce Medical Imaging, Devices, Diagnostics at the joint NIST/University of Maryland Institute (UMD) for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR). The input received will inform a joint NIST and NIBIB medical metrology and standards roadmap, a document that will identify future needs for medical metrology and standards, identify major stakeholders, and provide guidance for future government programs.
