Secondary use of health data has become an emerging topic in medical informatics. Many initiatives focus on clinical routine data, but clinical trial data has complementary strengths regarding highly structured documentation and mandatory data quality (DQ) reviews during the implementation. Clinical imaging trials investigate new imaging methods and procedures. Recently, DQ frameworks for structured data were proposed for harmonized quality assessments (QA). In this article, we investigate the application of these concepts to imaging trials and how a DQ framework could be defined for secondary use scenarios. We conclude that image quality can be assessed through both pixel data and metadata, and the latter can mostly be handled like structured study documentation in QA. For pixel data, typical quality indicators can be mapped to existing frameworks, but require additional image processing. Specific attention needs to be drawn to complete de-identification of imaging data, both on pixel data and metadata level.
