Learning from experience - Radiology ancillary review of prospective research studies involving imaging.

This report describes the operational process of a big academic children's hospital's Radiology Scientific Review Committee, with a focus on its role in integrating radiology services into pediatric clinical research. We define the step-by-step workflow used to assess research proposals involving imaging and share insights from the past three years of data collection. Trends in modalities, radiologist involvement, and interpretation possibilities are outlined in the data. This systematic methodology provides essential resource allocation concepts and promotes high-quality pediatric clinical research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
