Abstract:
The quality assurance(QA)of cadmium zinc telluride(CZT)detector-based Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography(SPECT)and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/X-ray Computed Tomography(SPECT/CT)systems is critical to the quality and safety of diagnosis and treatment for patients.Currently,there are no dedicated standards or guidelines for QA of specifically tailored for CZT detector equipment within the industry,resulting in uncertainties regarding their performance and operational safety.To address this gap,the Nuclear Medical Equipment and Technology Committee of China Association of Medical Equipment has convened a panel of experts to formulate a consensus on the QA for CZT detector-based SPECT and SPECT/CT equipment.This expert consensus aims to define the scope,protocols,and performance standards for QA about CZT detector-based SPECT and SPECT/CT equipment,so as to ensure that the equipment can reach to the performance indicators designed by the original factory in clinical application,and reach to the safe and reliable operation of equipment,and can meet requirements of clinical diagnosis.
