1.To probe the system of performance tests and safety inspections in medical equipment.
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2012;36(2):133-135
The potential problems of QA (quality assurance) and safety control of medical equipment in hospital were analyzed. On this base, this paper developed the testing system for the performance tests and the safety inspections of medical equipment in hospital, and discusses the results and the problems existing in the running systems.

Objective To study the effects on tissue CT number caused by scan protocols.Methods The phantom was repeatedly scanned in different protocols by changing only one of parameters,such as X-ray tube voltage,mAs and recon kernel,while other parameters were ketp unchanged.The CT number of different materials in phantom were measured and analyzed.Results The CT numbers of tissues changed remarkably with the tube voltage and had different relativity for different tissues.The CT numbers had positive correlation with kV for such maierials as polyethyle,lexan,perspex,but for teflon the correlation was negative.The mAs and recon kernel had no effects on CT number.Conclusions The CT number of tissue changes with scanning X-ray tube voltage,so the setting of scan parameters should be taken into account in image diagnosis and radiotherapy.
