The general topic of computers and nuclear medicine quality control may be approached from two main areas; controlling the quality of computerized studies, and computer applications in general nuclear medicine quality control. Overlap occurs when quality control of computer studies is performed by the computer itself. The uses of computers in record-keeping and in quality control of imaging instrumentation and in vitro studies, including radioimmunoassay, are discussed in this review. Aspects of quality control for computerized clinical cardiovascular, cerebral, and renal studies and emission computed tomography are reviewed, including consideration of difficulties and inaccuracies involved in the studies. Any automatic computer analysis program should incorporate adequate checks and error detection protocols and should illustrate results for verification. Current routine quality control procedures using the computer unfortunately are few. Quality control criteria are needed for camera/computer systems in high count rate clinical applications, and increasing emphasis should be aimed at quality control of those computerized dynamic and function studies in current clinical use. The computer has a valuable potential for nuclear medicine quality control. In vitro and computerized in vivo studies can be analyzed by readily available statistical programs, and variances can be monitored continuously. Computers can calibrate and monitor instrument performance regularly, and can handle managerial and clerical duties such as bookkeeping.
控制计算机化研究的质量，以及计算机在核医学总体质量控制中的应用。当计算机研究的质量控制由计算机自身执行时，就会出现重叠。本文综述了计算机在记录保存、成像仪器质量控制以及包括放射免疫分析在内的体外研究中的应用。本文还综述了计算机化临床心血管、脑和肾脏研究以及发射计算机断层扫描的质量控制方面，包括对研究中涉及的困难和不准确之处的考虑。任何自动计算机分析程序都应纳入适当的检查和错误检测协议，并应展示结果以供验证。遗憾的是，目前使用计算机的常规质量控制程序很少。在高计数率临床应用中，相机/计算机系统需要质量控制标准，并且应更加注重当前临床使用的那些计算机化动态和功能研究的质量控制。计算机在核医学质量控制方面具有宝贵的潜力。体外和计算机化体内研究可以通过现成的统计程序进行分析，并且可以持续监测方差。计算机可以定期校准和监测仪器性能，还可以处理诸如簿记等管理和文书工作。
