Summary
This paper addresses the development, testing, quality assurance (QA) and validation (V) of imaging hardware and software in nuclear medicine. QA, QC and V are discussed from the perspective of the nuclear medicine specialist, the regulator and the legal specialist. Complete testing programs and specific methods of QA, QC and V of nuclear medicine hardware and software are presented. NEMA standards for performance measurements of planar scintillation cameras and camera SPECT systems are reviewed; FDA policy on regulation of software used in medicine is discussed; legal aspects underlying the development of clinical software, and the practical value of copyright and patents are presented; and new, promising directions in hardware and software development are given. Since the primary focus of the meeting is QA, QC and V of gamma camera, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) systems and related imaging software, we introduce the presentations and proceedings with discussion of a few questions that are key to the use and understanding of these tests and measurements. 22 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.
