The CT users group.

We are a UK based group for people with an interest in medical CT scanning. Our main aim is to share experience and knowledge relating to CT scanning with each other, as well as to provide an educational forum. We formed in 1999, and are mainly hospital physicists, but we also count radiographers and radiologists amongst our number.

More than 100 people are now involved with the group - if you want any more details or are interested in joining, please contact us or subscribe to our mail list.

Next CTUG meeting - 14th October 2010: Call for Papers!

The twelfth CT Users Group meeting will be held on 14th October 2010, at Hammersmith Hospital Conference Centre, London. The aim of this meeting and the group as a whole is to share expertise and discuss new developments or problems related to the physics of Computed Tomography (CT). Submissions are invited for oral presentations or for short items for the round table discussion. Presentations of work in progress can be included as well as completed work.

Download the call for submissions and return by the 27th August to contribute to what is always an enjoyable day!

A programme and registration form will be issued in mid September. The cost of the meeting will be announced at a later date but is normally ~ £30 sterling.

IQWorks - automated image analysis software for medical physicists

As part of an ongoing interest in automated analysis of CT (and other digital modality) images, CTUG is proud to be involved with the development and support of IQWorks.

This project aims to build on the fantastic work by Andrew Reilly as part of his PhD research at Edinburgh University. An initial binary version of the software will be available to download soon, and broader input into its development as an open source project will follow. Follow the link above to find out more!
