DR QC Flashcards
Developed a pettern for evaluating display resolution
Society of Motion Picture and Television ENgineers (SMPTE)
SMPTE
Most common is the observation of (1) and (2) luminance patches to identify (3) in luminance
- 5%
- 95%
- gross deviation
recommended the SMPTE pattern for QC in telerdiology
American College of Radiology (ACR)
created the DICOM stndard
ACR and National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
For consistent grayscale appearance in DICOM-compatible displapys
Gray Scale Display FUnction
seved as an acceptance testing standard for digital displat devices
DIN 2001
Provides evaluation instructions for system performance in line with compliane standards
Flat Panel Displat Measurement (FPDM)
Released FPDM
Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA), 1998
Evaluates a digital display device comprehensively to ensure acceptable clinical performance
AAPM TG 18
For luminance response of monitors and luminnace uniformity measurements
Photometer
Photometer types
Near range photometers
Telescopic photometers
Used in close proximit to monitors
Near-range photometers
Measure luminance from a distance of 1m
Telescopic photometer
Photometers required range: (1) with better than (2) accuracy
and at least (3) precision
- 0.05-1000 cf/m^2
- 5%
- 0.01
Evaluates monitor display reflection and ambient light conditions
Illuminance meter
Quantifies color tint of grayscale displays to match multiple monitors that may be used at a single WS
Colorimeters
Measure CIE-specified color coordinates; available in near-range and telescopic styles
Colorimeters
Mostly, — patterns are used to perform qualitative and quantitave tests
AAPM TG 18
Occurs when displayed images geometrically differ from iorig image
Geometric Distortion
Geometric distortion acceptable levels
Primary class devices: <=2% distortion
Secorndary class devices: <= 5% distortion
Reflection is usually characterized as:
Specular reflection
Diffuse reflection
Produces mirror images from surrounding light sources
Specular reflection
Light is randomly scattered on the digital display
Diffuse reflection
Quantitative measure of dispay system’s ability to producle separable images of diff points of an object within high fidelity
Spatial resolution
High freq fluctuation/ patterns that interfere with detction of true signal
Noise
QC is the principal responsibility of the —
medical physicist
Pattern which should be viewed regularly
TG 18-QC
Patterns that can be used to evaluate display resolution
TG 18-CX and TG 18-QC
Pattern that can be used to evaluate resolution uniformity.
TG 18-PX
