Despite documented limitations, text-to-image generative AI creations have permeated nuclear medicine and medical imaging. Given the representation of medical imaging professions and potential dangers in misrepresentation and errors from both a reputation and community harm perspective, critical quality assurance of text-to-image generative AI creations is required. Here, tools for evaluating the quality and fitness for purpose of generative AI images in nuclear medicine and imaging are discussed.
