CtrlQ - MR Quality Assurance

Participants : René-Paul Debroize, Isabelle Corouge, Elise Bannier.

As part of the monitoring of the 3Tesla MR equipment, a quality control consistent with the one recommended by the American College Of Radiology (ACR) is performed weekly. As part of its MRI accreditation program, the ACR standardized a procedure for monitoring quality consisting of a series of measurements performed on a standardized imaging protocol on a test object with known geometry. A robust and intuitive software was developed, with a graphical interface, to ensure the automation of the measurements necessary to the control. The application was developed in C++ using the Qt, ITK, and DCMTK libraries.
