Open Source Automatic Quality Assurance (OSAQA) Project

Thank you for your interest in my codes.
It needs to be noted that the code was writen based on the images acquired by the scanners at several local hospitals (Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital, Hunter Radiology, Liverpool Hospital & HMRI Imaging Centre). Even though I have tried my best to make code to be universal, there could be something I missed. You can report any error or bug on the CONTACT page.
There have been several updates here and there in some of the codes. I didn't have time to constantly update each changes on this website. The best way to get the most updated codes is to email me through CONTACT page. I will send the Matlab code to you through email.
It is not superise if the code breaks when doing the images from your centre, because the code was written based on images from limited centres and vendors. If you have problems with the code, please contact me and I will modify the code for your centre.
Installation Instruction:

-
Unzip the files to a designated directory.
-
Have fun!
* Because the zip file cannot be uploaded to this web server, the zip file name has to be added with acceptable file format. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Requirements:

Program Update History:
ACR
10th May 14: Version 1
31st May 14: Version 2
1. automatically find the right image slice for each test (fun_ACR_FindSlice.m). Now the code can do images with any names, so no need to have specific naming or file name hardware in code. Works for scanner with and without ability to acquire dual-echo seq.
2. for image exported with the MagneticFieldStrength DICOM tag, no need for user to manually select field strength in PIU test
3. some other minor changes (please refer to code doc)
4. NOTE: you need to select the localiser, T1 and T2 directories correctly at the beginning in one go in order to let code work
25th Aug 14: Version 3
1. No longer need the FINDPEAKS Matlab built-in function (Signal Processing Toolbox). Replaced by PEAKFINDER from the Matlab Central.
2. Some other changed (please refer to code doc)
10th Sep 14: Version 4
1. More changes (please refer to code doc)
2. More details written into the Quick Manual
3. Include the image acquired at HMRI and Hunter Radiology, for user to test different images.
MagIQ
16th May 14: Version 1
MagPhan
25th Feb 15: Version 1

1st Aug 14: Version 1
7th Sep 14: Version 2
1. Include both CBCT & CT QA functions.
2. Solved some minor bugs (please refer inside the scripts).
