Protocol overview
Michael Sandborg, Linköping / Sweden
- To describe the main parameters evaluated by the protocol.
- To summarise the evaluation methods of the main parameters.
- To understand how previously used QC protocols for the same system type are integrated within the new protocol.

Evaluation of the image quality
Nicoletta Paruccini, Monza / Italy
- To appreciate the different methods available for evaluating image quality in dynamic imaging systems.
- To describe the pros and cons of at least two methods for image quality evaluation.
- To compare a method of image quality evaluation previously used with one adopted in the new protocol.
