Approaches to Assess Image Quality in X-Ray Diagnostics | Expert Insights from CCRI

Описание: How can we assess and improve image quality in X-ray diagnostics? In this meeting, the BIPM brings together international experts from CIPM's Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation (CCRI) and stakeholders to discuss the latest approaches for evaluating image quality in computed tomography (CT) with a focus on dose efficiency and advanced analysis techniques.

Whether you’re a metrologist, radiologist or medical physicist, this session offers insights into the optimization of CT imaging, patient safety and new methodologies for image analysis.

0:00 Presentation of the Speakers
Massimo Pinto, CCRI(I) Vice-Chair, introduces our panel of experts, setting the stage for a comprehensive discussion on CT image quality.

1:49 Introduction to Dose Efficiency in CT
Hugo De Las Heras Gala from the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) explains the importance of dose efficiency in CT imaging, focusing on minimizing patient exposure while maximizing diagnostic image quality.

11:30 Type Testing of CTs with Automated Analysis
Maximilian Göppel (BfS) introduces the model observer approach, a proposed method for automating CT type testing, ensuring standardized image quality across devices.

31:13 Image Quality Parameters from Patient Images
Mathias Anton from Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, the German National Metrological Institute (PTB) discusses a nonparametric statistical approach to derive image quality parameters from real patient images, aiming for a balance between accuracy and patient safety.
