1) Learn acceptance testing and commissioning of gamma cameras/SPECT / and PET-CT systems. 2) Describe routine quality control procedures and their frequencies. 3) Become familiar with ACR accreditation of planar, SPECT, and PET systems. 4) Learn about various potential image artifacts of gamma camera, SPECT and PET systems.
The aim of this lecture is to provide the audience with an overview of the current medical physics testing procedures that are performed on gamma cameras, SPECT and PET systems. The lecture will be divided into 3 main parts; the first part will describe the tests performed for acceptance testing of these systems while the second part will describe the routine quality control and assurance tests and their frequencies. The last part of the lecture will focus on the ACR accreditation process and the necessary phantom imaging for gamma cameras, SPECT and PET systems. Throughout the lecture, examples of potential image artifacts will be presented.
