SUMMER COURSE IN MEDICAL PHYSICS 2024

IndoQCT and IndoseCT for CT Image Quality and Dosimetry Measurements

 

The Summer Course in Medical Physics 2024 is organized by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics (FSM), Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The Summer Course is a seven-day online activity that will expose the participants to knowledge and skills in image quality measurements of computed tomography using IndoQCT and IndoseCT software. Moreover, its quality performance is also compared with dose measurements to ensure optimal future computed tomography (CT) scanning protocol. In brief, the summer course will cover various practical measurement skills as follows: computed tomography dose index volume (CTDIvol), size-specific dose estimate (SSDE), dosimetry for CT with tube current modulation (TCM) technique, CT number consistency, CT number uniformity and homogeneity, CT number linearity, noise image and noise power spectrum (NPS),  spatial resolution (visual observation, modulation transfer function (MTF), and task transfer function (TTF)), low-contrast detectability (LCD), slice thickness, CT alignment, gantry tilts, and advanced image quality on clinical patient images.
