AAPM’s Working Group on Standardization of CT Nomenclature and Protocols is now the Alliance for Quality Computed Tomography
Nov. 10, 2015 - The American Association of Physicists in Medicine’s (AAPM) multi-organizational Working Group on Standardization of CT Nomenclature and Protocols has a new name: the Alliance for Quality Computed Tomography (AQCT). The working group was formed in 2010 to provide information to CT users that enhance the quality of their CT practice. The membership includes academic and consulting medical physicists who specialize in CT imaging, representatives of each of the major CT scanner manufacturers, and liaisons from the American College of Radiology, American Society of Radiology Technologists, and the Food and Drug Administration. The “Alliance” name better represents the composition of the working group, as well as the scope of the activities which is to promote the highest level of quality in CT imaging.
