Effective Jan. 1, 2024, the definition of a small rectangular field camera for nuclear medicine phantoms will change to the smallest dimension < 32 cm (current requirement is the longest dimension < 32 cm). The purpose of this update is to better identify scanners with a small field of view (FOV) and differentiate the small FOV scanners from those with a large FOV.
Effective Jan. 1, 2024, the mean background criteria for PET phantoms will change to 0.90-1.10 for SUV measurements. The aim for this update is to reduce the variability tolerance of the background SUV to +/- 10% from the previous +/- 15%. This change helps to improve the accuracy of scanner calibration and SUV measurements.
ACR Accreditation now offers non-U.S. imaging facilities recognition for meeting current ACR accreditation standards. Facilities will submit self-assessment documentation for verification. No clinical or phantom images required.
