A quality control of a virtual simulation system including an inverse DRR software

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The aim of this work was to define different quality control procedures so as to verify our virtual simulation system (1 Scanner PQ 5000, 2 virtual simulation system AcQSim/Picker). The Fox Chase center has already presented a phantom for the Picker simulation system in [1]. However, this phantom although interesting was considered by our team not sufficient to verify all the aspects of the system. More complete quality controls are presented in [2–4]. In this work, we present a complete procedure with new controls (see table 1) based on a cube phantom.
