Presentations
TU-A-BRA-0 (Tuesday, March 8, 2016) 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Room: Grand Ballroom A
In medical imaging, display performance has a direct impact on the information available to physicians for diagnoses. The duties of the imaging technologists also rely upon optimal display performance. Several accrediting bodies have implemented requirements to perform routine quality assurance for both primary and secondary displays. Professional organizations, including AAPM, have provided guidance regarding display QA, but changes in display technology require that these test procedures, and the expected performance metrics, be revisited.
In this session, the speaker will describe existing QA methodology for both primary and secondary displays, discuss limitations of these methods, and present some suggestions for revised QA procedures and performance metrics, specific to the current display technology. He will also discuss the findings of a display QA program implemented in a large academic medical center.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the expectations and requirements for display QA from accrediting bodies.
2. Review QA metrics, procedures, and guidance provided by AAPM.
3. Identify some limitations of current QA procedures and opportunities for improving display QA.
