Ocena testów i wytycznych zawartych w Rozporządzeniu Ministra Zdrowia z dnia 18 lutego 2011 roku dotyczących kontroli jakości tomografu komputerowego
Aim
Evaluation of tests and guidelines provided by the regulation of the Minister of Health on 18 February 2011 relating to quality assurance in computed tomography.
Material and method
Catphan 600 phantom, 2-part PMMA CT-Phantom IBA phantom and Raysafe Xi modules were used to carry out quality assurance tests on Siemens Sensation Open tomograph. For evaluation of the results Microsoft Excel and Varian Eclipse software were used. The range of the assay with use of Catphan phantom was extended for better assessment of tests provided in regulations.
Results
Performed tests revealed that according to the regulations, CT is working properly. On the other hand, it is easily observed that results vary for different scan settings in tests performed on Catphan phantom.
Conclusions
Performed tests showed that conditions given in regulations are easy to fulfil. Another conclusion is that there are no strict guidelines about scan settings in by the regulation of the Minister of Health on 18 February 2011. In order to maintain constant conditions of testing, the settings from standard workflow should be used.
