INTER-COMPARISON OF ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING SOFTWARE FOR MUGA STUDY AND PIP
Abstract
Software quality assurance in nuclear medicine can be performed by software phantom ifthe system has the universal interface. Patient file data from a particular computer system may be converted into the standard interfile format, and subsequently converted from interfile format to the specific file format of another computer system. Ifthe system has no interfile option, hardware phantom must be used to validate the accuracy of the software analysis result. The dynamic cardiac phantom was used to verify both acquisition software and analysis software. This make it more importance to guarantee quality and reliability in multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) study. The data set from GE was used to analyze on Trionix and PIP (Portable Image Processing) software. The result shown that GE and Trionix were not different but PIP will give low ejection fraction (EF) than those two systems.
