CT Physics Services
Annual testing, dose optimization, and accreditation support for CT scanners in Kansas and the Central Plains
CT accounts for most of the radiation dose in diagnostic imaging, and it is often the scanner a rural hospital can least afford to have down. HPIP keeps your CT program compliant and well documented, and helps your protocols deliver diagnostic image quality at appropriate dose.
Services include
- Fetal dose estimates for pregnant patients, with fast turnaround when you need an answer
- Annual CT physicist performance evaluations and acceptance testing
- Image quality testing: CT number accuracy, uniformity, noise, artifacts, and spatial resolution
- Dose index (CTDIvol) verification and dose display accuracy
- ACR CT accreditation support, including phantom testing and corrective action follow-up
- Support for Joint Commission diagnostic imaging requirements
- Protocol review and dose optimization
- CT room shielding design and shielding verification surveys
Why it matters
Annual reports targeted for delivery within 7 days of testing, automated analysis for consistent results year to year, and a physicist who will pick up the phone when a pregnant patient needed a scan.
