CONCLUSION

We have developed a unique QA program and website in order to remotely monitor nuclear medicine scanners. The tool, which is freely available, aids in the assessment of system performance and error prediction in order to take pre-emptive action.

BACKGROUND

The quantification and standardization of quality assurance are necessary for error prediction and performance assessment so that pre-emptive actions can be taken. Currently there are no tools that easily consolidate and present daily or other QC data for PET/Gamma Cameras (GC) which allow remote viewing or trend analysis. We believe that by making use of data that exist on PET/GC, an internal webpage and analysis program can be developed in order to facilitate the monitoring of these systems.
