What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study brings together medical visualization experts from North America, Europe, and South Korea to agree on professional standards for medical images and illustrations. Participants rate and discuss statements about accuracy, accessibility, and ethics over up to three rounds of anonymous surveys. The goal is to create a shared set of guidelines that can improve how medical visuals are made and used in education and healthcare.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish widely accepted professional standards for medical images used in education and patient care, improving clarity and trust.
What could go wrong
This is a small consensus study with 50 experts, not a clinical trial. The results reflect expert opinion, not proven effectiveness, and may not apply globally.

Who is studied

The study aimed to recruit a panel of approximately 35-50 experts. As Delphi studies are consensus-based, the target panel size was guided by diversity of expertise, feasibility, and anticipated attrition rather than by a formal power calculation. The recruitment channel involved the principal investigator compiling a roster of domain experts based on program directors or departmental contacts accredited training institutions, with the principal investigator issuing personalized invitations directly. The invitation process followed a standardized email procedure in three stages: (1) Initial invitation: the principal investigator sent a personalized email explaining the study objectives, expected time commitment (approximately 15 minutes per round), the anonymity mechanism, and data protection measures; (2) Follow-up reminder: if the invitee did not respond within 14 days, a first reminder was sent; if there was still no respon.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Experts were invited from medical illustration training programs or professional associations worldwide. Inclusion criteria required that invitees meet at least one of the following conditions: Inclusion Criteria: * Current faculty or staff at one of the accredited degree-granting institutions in medical and scientific illustration * Current member of a nationally/regionally recognized medical illustration association * Holder of the Certified Medical Illustrator (CMI) credential issued by the Board of Certification of Medical Illustrators * Current visualization editor or supervisor at a high-impact medical journal. * Required to possess at least five years of professional experience in medical visualization or a related discipline * Willing to complete the Delphi questionnaire, having provided informed consent prior to questionnaire commencement. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior participation in the focus group or validity assessment stages of this study's initial questionnaire development * Direct financial interest in commercial AI medical imaging products or related services * Inability to complete the questionnaire in the designated language (English) in the absence of a corresponding language version. Individuals meeting any of the above criteria were excluded to preserve the independence of the consensus process.
