Computed Tomography Quality Assurance Services
Associates in Medical
Physics, LLC, (AMP), agrees to supply the following services:
- Perform performance evaluation and compliance testing of each
C.T unit with respect to the following:
- Accuracy of positioning lasers/lights.
- Slide thickness accuracy.
- Table-incrementing accuracy.
- Noise levels of the system in the Head and Body modes, and
at various slice thicknesses.
- Image uniformity of the system in the Head and Body modes.
- High contrast resolution in the Head and Body modes, and at
various slice thicknesses.
- Low contrast resolution in the Head and Body modes, and at
various slice thicknesses.
- Determination of contrast scale (i.e., change in linear
attenuation coefficient with C.T. number).
- Determination of C.T. number linearity (i.e., establish
constancy of contrast scale over the range of C.T. numbers of clinical
interest).
- Verify relative independence of absolute C.T. number of
water with respect to subject size and kVp.
- General image quality with regard to imaging artifacts.
- General safety of the unit.
- Perform dosimetry measurements of each C.T. unit with respect
to the following:
- Physical location in an acrylic phantom (32cm Body or 16cm
Head)
- kVp
- mA
- Scan time
- Scan diameter
- Slice width
- Provide a typed report of all findings for use as a
permanent record, in a format acceptable to JCAHO and AOA.
Please give us your feedback and let us know of your interest in our services.
