Goals
- To learn how SPECT/CT and PET/CT QC are performed.
Sessions
- Well Counter and Thyroid Probe
- Well counter operation: daily quality assurance, background and energy calibration, log books.
- Thyroid counter: energy spectrum, counting windows, quality assurance, log books, patient setup.
- Scatter exercise.
- Gamma Camera Imaging
- Clinical use of gamma camera:positioning controls, changing collimator, positioning patients; energy spectrum and window settings; perform static, dynamic and tomographic imaging with technologist.
- Data processing: dynamic study (renal) - process with correct and incorrect background regions.
- Processing exercise for brain SPECT: process with three different filters, vary attenuation ROIs, and other processing parameters.
- Quality Control - Planar and SPECT
- All QC procedures from the table below with the exception of the yearly tests:daily and ACR PET phantom; daily and monthly QC on PET/CT.
- Processing exercise: ACR PET phantom reconstruction with 3 filters. Compare PET/CT phantom images vs. ACCEL.
- PET Imaging - QA
- All QC except year tests: daily and ACR PET phantom; Daily and monthly QC on PET/CT
- Processing exercise: ACR PET phantom reconstruction with 3 filters. Review the effect of filters on resolution.
- PET - Acquisition and Analysis
- Review with preceptor acquisition parameters and reconstruction protocols.
- Processing exercise: the same patient with FBP (use 3 different filters) and OSEM
- SUV exercise.
