Agfa PACS training courses endorsed
3 February 2006
Brentford, UK. Agfa has received College of Radiographers CPD endorsement
for three of their training courses for picture archiving and communications
systems: introduction to PACS & CR technology; advanced CR; and QA (quality
assurance) for CR. The accreditation is valid for two years, after which
each course will be reassessed.
The introduction to PACS & CR technology study day provides a foundation
for radiographers. The day includes a presentation and an interactive
session on CR and PACS workflow versus conventional workflow, as well as a
presentation on CR radiographic technique and a practical introduction to
Agfa CR software. It also includes a presentation and discussion on the
benefits and unique features of PACS.
The quality assurance for CR course is designed to improve delegates’
knowledge of CR and to provide them with detailed information on acceptance
testing, quality assurance and dose monitoring of an Agfa CR system. This
study day includes presentations on CR image formation, dose monitoring
software, monitor set-up and CR artefacts. It also includes a presentation
and practical session on QA tests with non-Agfa software and Agfa Auto QC
software, as well as an interactive session on setting up a departmental QA
programme.
The advanced CR course is a well-structured study day designed to help
radiographers develop an advanced knowledge of CR theory and a practical
understanding of the process of CR image evaluation and configuration. The
course includes a presentation on CR image processing, a presentation and
exercises on CR system configuration, and a critical evaluation of CR
images.
Courses are held at Brentford and Leeds, England and cost £220 + VAT
each.
