[Intl_DxMedPhys] GE Discovery NM 530C Small Phantom SPECT Acquisition

[Nima Kasraie]

When I started testing this camera in 2019, there already was an ACR folder under the USER folder, which had a protocol in it for testing the small phantom. I don’t know if it came from the manufacturer, or if my predecessor had made it by customizing a clinical protocol and saving it.

That being said, here are my notes on doing the postprocessing on the Xeleris station (which is the hard part), once you do get it to run and finish.

You will hopefully forgive if the notes are incomplete, or if I skipped parts. I wrote these for myself so I don’t forget. But at least you have a starting point.


@Maynard: I sent you a slightly longer version file. The listserv wouldn’t let me send it. Too big)

We need any helpful tips on acquiring images of the SMALL Jayzak phantom for the first time as needed for ACR Accreditation SPECT annual  physics report and image submission.
This GE NM 530C is the small FOV digital camera that does not rotate during acquisition.
Is it done with just a static exposure?
Which protocol is used to acquire and which application is used to process?
Any other tips would be appreciated.
