Structured Workflow
QC-Track provides the structure needed in any QC program.

• Worksheet data fields, constants, limits, and calculations

• On-the-spot pass-fail, with email notifications
• Standard and Automated Worksheet templates for ACR and vendor QC workflows
• Easy customization to accommodate site-specific needs, physicist requests, or inspection purposes
• Modality-specific workflow features, such as daily water phantom tests, can be scheduled in the QC-Track Workflow Scheduler to alternate between axial and helical views for sites that prefer to do only one view per day

QC-Track offers two workflows for CT:

• Standard Worksheet QC data is entered by the technologist into worksheets on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, depending on the QC program being followed.
• Automated Phantom QC is available for the ACR and vendor phantoms. Automated Phantom Analysis provides a fast, flexible, and consistent method to extract and process phantom and DICOM data and automatically insert the data into QC-Track worksheets.

Reports
QC-Track standard reports meet the reporting needs of CT teams, including:

• ACR QC Report, specifically designed to match the display format of the ACR QC manuals, facilitating inspections by displaying data in a format with which the inspector is familiar
• QC Checklist Report, to show daily status of QC by test over the selected time period
• Quarterly reports for physicist review

Electronic Sign Off
Standard QC-Track Sign Off is available for the CT workflow for capturing the ACR-required annual medical physicist sign off on the daily and monthly QC.
