文摘
- •
QA as well as CT technology, protocol, and post-processing evaluation require standardized IQ.
- •
A framework for standardized quantitative image quality analysis in CT is presented.
- •
Quantitative IQ metrics include MTF, NPS, CT number accuracy, uniformity, CNR, and SNR.
- •
An extendable design allows for inclusion of further IQ metrics and phantom types.
- •
Simultaneous automated processing of image datasets enables comparative IQ analysis.
