  • AAPM Webinars
    • Episode #6 of the AAPM MP3.0 Webinar Series on Transformational Medical Physics
      What’s up with imaging protocols?
      Medical imaging is as much about the actual imaging technology as it is about how to do it. This has significant implications in the consistency and optimality of images, and raises several needs related to organizing, categorizing, optimizing, and tracking imaging protocols - all of which fall well within the domain of medical physics. This webinar outlines processes and insights in protocol management.
      Speakers: Tim Szczykutowicz, Justin Solomon

Corgi Phantom:
 The Corgi Phantom is designed to evaluate cone beam CT systems. The modular phantom can be configured for different scan sizes, providing tests for multi-axis high resolution, sensitometry, cone beam artifacts, and uniformity. Additionally, the phantom includes holes for measuring dose.

Liver Phantom:
 The Liver Phantom combines the advantages of objective test objects and anthropomorphic elements for evaluation of advanced iterative processing. The phantom includes low contrast test objects designed both for ROC tests along with conventional patterns, metal artifact inserts, and beads for MTF calculations.
