Objective To understand the level of quality control in medical linear accelerator in Guangxi, and to provide technical support for the health administrative department to make related standards. Methods To select medical linear accelerators in Guangxi by random sampling method. Results A total of 118 accelerators were checked in 2017—2019, the initial inspection pass rates of medical linear accelerators were 56.8% and re-inspect pass rate were 96.6%. Conclusion The quality control level of the radiology institutions needs to be improved. The health administrative department should strengthen routine management,it is necessary to implement quality control in medical linear accelerator.

Objective:To discuss the problems existing in the implementation of the Chinese health industry standard WS 523-2019 by testing SPECT device.Methods:Under the WS 523-2019 standards, a total of 10 SPECT devices were tested with regard to their SPECT reconstructed spatial resolution (SRSR), system planar sensitivity (SPS), system spatial resolution (SSR), whole body system spatial resolution (WSSR), intrinsic uniformity (IU), intrinsic count rate performance (ICR), intrinsic spatial resolution (ISR) and intrinsic spatial linearity(ISL).Result:Under the requirements of WS 523-2019 standards for qualified limits, there are 3 devices with ISL unqualified and the rest of the performances qualified. The new standards basically can meet the clinical requirements and reflected the overall performance of SPECT.Conclusions:The distance between the radiation source and the surface of the detector has great influence on the spatial resolution.In the measurement of ISL, there must be a lead grid separately in the x and y directions. The lead grids with the parallel slits shall be positioned on the detector with the center slit centered on the detector. It is suggested to add rotation center in the new standards.
