This performance testing is performed by a qualified expert annually, at intervals not to exceed 14 months, and after repairs to the CBCT unit that may affect the radiation output or image quality.
3. Some manufacturers provide a phantom and procedures to perform machine specific quality assurance (QA) tests. In cases where the manufacturer provides a phantom and procedures to perform specific tests but the tests are not included in this SOW, then the manufacturer s machine-specific QA tests shall be performed in addition to the QA tests in this SOW.
Acceptance and Annual physics testing for Dental CBCT
1. Radiation output Repeatability
Make four measurements of the air kerma at the isocenter at a clinically used setting. The measurements should be less than +/-5% of the average of the five measurements and the measurements should be less than +/- 5% of the previous year s measurement.
2. Radiation Output Reproducibility
Measure the air kerma at the isocenter for each kVp station and a range of clinically used mAs setting. Compare the results to the baseline values established at the initial acceptance testing. The values should be +/-5% of the baseline.
3. kVp Accuracy
Measure the kVp at all clinically used settings. The measured kVp should be +/-5% of the selected kVp.
4. kVp Repeatability
Make five kVp measurements each for two clinically used kVp settings. All measured values should be +/-5% of the mean kVp.
5. kVp Reproducibility
Measure the kVp at all available kVp settings. The measured values should be +/-5% of the baseline.
6. Beam quality
Measure the half value layer (HVL) for aluminum. The minimum shall comply with Section F.4.d of the Suggested State Regulations for Control of Radiation, Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors.
7. Radiation field of view (FOV)
Measure the width of the radiation field at the isocenter. The width of the beam should be 3 mm or 30% of the total nominal collimated width.
8. Image Quality
Image the phantom provided by the manufacturer or another suitable phantom. Assess high contrast spatial resolution, uniformity of transaxial images, and image noise. Imaging uniformity shall be assessed over the entire range of axial images.
9. Accuracy of Linear Measurements
Using images of an appropriate phantom, assess the accuracy of distance measurements.
10. Accuracy of Patient Dose Metric Indication
Assess the accuracy of the indicated dose metric (typically DAP).
11. Patient Dose Assessment
From a scan or scans using the facility s standard techniques, record the dose metric (typically DAP) and compare to achievable levels and diagnostic reference levels (if available)
12. Review of the technical QA program
The qualified expert shall review the technical QA program. The review shall include a trend analysis of the QA data. The results of the technical QA program review shall be included in the written report. Any trends that identify problems shall be included in the report along with recommended corrective actions.
13. Display Monitors
Perform a visual analysis of the SMPTE test pattern.
Display the test pattern on the imaging console. Set the display window width/level to the manufacturer-specified values for the pattern. Do not set the window/level by eye; doing so invalidates the procedure.
Examine the pattern to confirm that the gray level display in the imaging console is subjectively correct.
Review the line pair patterns in the center and at each of the corners.
Review the black-white transition.
Look for any evidence of scalloping (loss of bit depth) or geometric distortion.
Use a photometer to measure the maximum and minimum monitor brightness (0% and 100% steps)
Measure additional steps within the pattern to establish a response curve.
Measure the brightness near the center of the monitor and near all 4 corners (or all 4 sides, depending on the test pattern used).
14. Viewing Conditions
Assess the viewing conditions for the area in which the monitor used to evaluation the CBCT studies is located.
