QUART IAEA-EFOMP-ESTRO Test Set

The test set was compiled based on the recommendations of the three organizations, IAEA, EFOMP, and ESTRO, for a quick and time-efficient QA performance at CBCT imaging equipment.

These recommendations are principally based on DIN 6868-161 and 6868-15 for CBCT quality assurance.

These recommendations are principally based on DIN 6868-161 and 6868-15 for CBCT quality assurance.

Only one exposure is required to create 3D data set containing all required parameters to evaluate image quality. Automated image quality evaluation is performed through the unique QUART CTtec QA/QC software.

The DVTkp phantom can be applied for field sizes from 4x4cm to large fields-of-view (FOV). Customized holders for a variety of CBCT systems are available.
