    This study details key performance metrics for computerized tomography (CT) scanning, including image quality and patient dose. It introduces modular phantoms for accurate, versatile CT performance evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging Physics
    • Radiological Sciences

    Background:

    • Computerized tomography (CT) performance evaluation relies on specific radiographic and dosimetric parameters.
    • Practical challenges exist in accurately assessing these critical CT performance metrics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss essential CT performance parameters and associated evaluation challenges.
    • To introduce a novel phantom system for comprehensive CT performance assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed discussion of key CT performance parameters: alignment, slice thickness, noise, low-contrast detectability, spatial resolution, modulation transfer function, and patient dose.
    • Description of a modular phantom set designed for evaluating these parameters.
    • Phantoms allow measurements across various sites within standardized and anthropomorphic body sections (skull, abdomen, thorax).
