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.

Last CTUG meeting - 21st October 2008

The most recent CT Users Group meeting was be held on 21st October 2008, at Leeds General Infirmary.

The programme, abstracts and pdfs of the presentations can now be seen online

This year the format was slightly different, with a session for the major manufacturers to present their AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) systems, and explain their features.

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!
