Comparative evaluation of image quality from three CT simulation scanners
Today, radiation therapy (RT) is moving toward increased radiation dose to the tumor as a result of 3D conformal RT (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated RT (IMRT), which have been made possible by advances in volumetric-based image planning with digital imaging systems such as computed tomography (CT). Treatment planning for such RT requires superior CT image quality. Our goal in this study was to e...
متن کاملPhantoms for Performance Evaluation and Quality Assurance of Ct Scanners
FOREWORD The American Association of Physicists in Medicine is organized, as one of its declared purposes, to prepare and to disseminate technical information in medical physics and related fields. I n f u l f i l l-ment of this purpose, the AAPM through a structure of Task Forces, Committees, and Councils prepares recommendations, policy and state-of-the-art reviews in the form of reports. The...
متن کاملCT image quality over time: comparison of image quality for six different CT scanners over a six‐year period
UNSCEAR concluded that increased use of CT scanning caused dramatic changes in population dose. Therefore, international radiation protection authorities demand: 1) periodical quality assurance tests with respect to image quality and radiation dose, and 2) optimization of all examination protocols with respect to image quality and radiation dose. This study aimed to evaluate and analyze multipl...
متن کاملEvaluation of MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry for Measurement of CT Dose Index (CTDI) on 64 slices CT Scanners
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) has numerous applications in clinical procedures but its main problem is its high radiation dose to the patients compared to other imaging modalities using x-ray. CT delivers approximately high doses to the nearby tissues due to the scattering effect, fan beam (beam divergence) and limited collimator efficiency. The radiation dose from multi-slice scanners...
متن کاملPET/CT scanners: a hardware approach to image fusion.
New technology that combines positron tomography with x-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is available from all major vendors of PET imaging equipment: CTI, Siemens, GE, Philips. Although not all vendors have made the same design choices as those described in this review all have in common that their high performance design places a commercial CT scanner in tandem with a commercial PET scanner. ...
