Consensus And Norms for Medical Visualization Academic Standards Study - A Modified Delphi Study

The goal of this observational study (modified Delphi consensus study) is to establish an international expert consensus on professional standards for medical visualization in medical visualization experts from from around the world, each with a minimum of five years of relevant professional experience. The specific objectives are: 1. to develop and validate core consensus statements on professional standards for medical visualization (consensus threshold ≥75%). 2. to quantify the distribution of divergence in professional opinion. Participants will: Fill out a short background survey about their job title, training, work setting, location, and experience with AI image tools. Rate 10 statements about medical visualization standards on a scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). These statements cover three topics: accuracy, accessibility, and ethics. Participants will complete up to 3 rounds of anonymous online surveys. Write comments to explain why they disagree with any statement they rate 1 or 2. Between rounds, review a summary showing their own earlier ratings and the group's overall results (with no names attached). Then, re-rate any statements the group has not yet agreed on.
