Digital Reference Object Done • Collected PET/CT images of the same reference phantom from scanners from GE, Philips, Siemens • Image data collated and compared w.r.t. DICOM header information • Contacted Mfrs to start discussion of • DICOM information needed • Acceptable process • Not complete response yet
Digital Reference Object • Sample Image Sections from Six Different Scanners Not meant as a "Consumer's Report" evaluation, but rather to facilitate multi-center comparisons
Digital Reference Object Populated DICOM fields by manufacturer
Digital Reference Object Next Steps: • Initiate manufacturer-driven discussion on methods for distributing and testing a purely digital version of the reference phantom • Test digital reference object on 3rd party review stations • Initiate IHE process for manufacturer-driven roll-out • Explore potential for moving further up the data generation stream, i.e., closer to raw data
