<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Good morning Listers,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I wanted to chime in on the discussion about automated QC software for daily CT and MR QC. An alternative to consider is building your own system. With the Microsoft tools available at most institutions, automating
QC for multiple modalities is quite straightforward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">During my time at the Cleveland Clinic, we had two outstanding programmers develop our radiation dose monitoring system, QC system, testing workflow, and inventory management system, among other systems. While
it's true that not every institution has the financial resources of the Cleveland Clinic, it was more cost-effective to develop and maintain these solutions internally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Nowadays, the cost-benefit skew might be even more favorable with tools like MS Copilot, MS Power Apps, and MS Power BI. These applications can facilitate much, if not all, of what is needed. Even with these
tools, having a knowledgeable programming professional may be prudent to expedite the process and overcome any personal bandwidth limitations, but not absolutely necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Just some food for thought!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

automatic forwarding to a DICOM service which processes and then sends to ZapIT. In about 2 minutes, the tech can open a ZapIT session, run the daily water/uniformity test, and the results are populated from the analysis program. There is also full control
to open and examine the images, with full DICOM headers and ROI/distance measurement tools for making manual verifications. It is platform agnostic (we send both GE and Siemens test images), and because in NJ we have to keep the images for 30 days we have

quantitative results. The staff just documents them in NMIS, so we don’t have a great need on the nuc side as it is fairly easy already (and the logging/reporting of long term QC results for the Discover-family scanners is not bad).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
