AAPM multi-organizational Working Group on Standardization of CT Nomenclature and Protocols established in 2010 has adopted a new name Alliance for Quality Computed Tomography (AQCT) in order to better represent the scope of the activities of the Working Group, which is dedicated to promote the highest level of quality in CT imaging.
The roles of the AQCT:
- To develop consensus protocols for frequently performed CT examinations, summarizing the basic requirements of the exam and giving several model-specific examples of scan and reconstruction parameters;
- To maintain a lexicon of terms used on CT scanners by different manufacturers;
- To provide educational resources for the CT imaging community;
- To serve as a communication vehicle between multiple stakeholder groups and manufacturers.
