TODO - Quality control tests for CT scanners are very important for correct
machine performance, and for the radiation protection of patients and
medical personnel. As proliferation of CT scanners continues, the need
for distributable software tools to perform quality control tests
becomes evident. A multimedia tool and guide will help medical
physicists and technologists to perform these tests easily and
correctly. The guide can be easily accessible in CD-ROM, or networked on
the Internet. The user, medical physicist or technologist, can find in
the present guide the pertinent theoretical information and the
procedures necessary to perform the quality control tests, with the help
of texts, CT images and photographs, narration and video. The results of
the tests are automatically compared with machine specifications and
acceptable values set by international bodies, and are stored in a
table.
