The radiomics quality score (RQS) assesses the characteristics and, ultimately, the quality of a radiomics study, including its reporting. The score has thirty-six potential points given based on sixteen criteria, with a score of thirty-six indicating superlative quality. The criteria emphasise reproducibility and even include the open availability of source code and data.
Practical points
registering a study in a trial database before it begins increases RQS
calibrating features with phantoms on all scanners used increases RQS
the best quality studies will usually adhere to TRIPOD guidelines (guidelines including a checklist for studies developing or validating a prediction mode) and have a high RQS
