The course was an introduction to the physics of CT, covering a wide range of topics with Physicist and Radiographer representation. It was designed to be open to anyone, but to be particularly useful for trainee Technicians and Physicists (STP, route two etc) or those wanting a CT theory refresher. https://ctug.org.uk/search.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 21:58:43 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/search.html Search the CT Users Group web site  Site map Home Page About the CTUG CTUG Constitution CTUG meetings Twenty sixth meeting, 18th October 2024, Exeter Twenty fifth meeting, 19th October 2023, Cardiff Twenty fourth meeting, 6th October 2022, Nottingham Twenty third meeting, 21st October 2021, Online Twenty second meeting, 14th October 2020, Online Twenty first meeting, 3rd October 2019, in Birmingham Twentieth meeting, 11th October 2018, in Lincoln Nineteenth meeting, 19th October 2017, in Bristol Eighteenth meeting, 20th October 2016, in Manchester Seventeenth meeting, 15th December 2015, in Chilton Sixteenth meeting, 16th October 2014, in Nottingham Fifteenth meeting, 7th November 2013, in Coventry Fourteenth meeting, 4 October 2012, in Edinburgh Thirteenth meeting, 5 October 2011, in Sheffield Twelfth meeting, 14 October 2010, in London Eleventh meeting, 26 November 2009, in Belfast Tenth meeting, 21 October 2008, in Leeds Ninth meeting, 23 October 2007, in Birmingham Eighth meeting, 16 November 2006, in Nottingham Seventh meeting, 6 October 2005, in Newcastle Sixth meeting, 14 October 2004, in Bristol Fifth meeting, 13 January 2004, in Edinburgh Fourth meeting, 7 November 2002, in Nottingham Third meeting, 21st November 2001, in Manchester Second meeting, 20th June 2000, in London First meeting, 29th September 1999, in Birmingham CTUG training course https://ctug.org.uk/ctsurvey.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 21:38:21 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/ctsurvey.html The CT Users group has been associated with a number of national efforts to gather and publish patient dose survey data for CT scannning in the UK. UK Paediatric CT dose survey The IPEM paediatric optimisation working party, in collaboration with PHE, launched a UK paediatric CT dose survey in June 2019. The following is from the email announcing the survey: UK Paediatric CT dose survey This survey aims to collect protocol and patient dose data for the four most commonly undertaken paediatric CT examinations. https://ctug.org.uk/links.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 21:15:28 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/links.html Some useful CT related links The ImPACT Group, at St George’s Hospital The Medical Dosimetry Group at UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

A further update followed at the twenty-sixth meeting in 2024. CONSTITUTION NAME: The name of the group shall be the ‘CT USERS GROUP’ AIMS: The group is organised for the purpose of enabling its members to discuss new developments, share expertise, discuss problems, advance knowledge, and to facilitate collaborative projects, in the fields of physics applied to X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). https://ctug.org.uk/contact.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 19:51:04 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/contact.html Chair: user = 'chair'; site = 'ctug.org.uk'; name = 'Laurence King'; document.write(''); document.write( name +' (' + user + '@' + site + ')'); [Turn on JavaScript to see the email address] Principal Clinical Scientist Zone C, Department 5 Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust Combe Park Bath BA1 3NG Secretary: user = 'secretary'; site = 'ctug.org.uk'; name = 'Rosie Gallant'; document.write(''); document.write( name +' (' + user + '@' + site + ')'); [Turn on JavaScript to see the email address] Clinical Scientist https://ctug.org.uk/about.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 15:04:22 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/about.html Background to the CTUG We are a 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. Most of our members are UK based, but we have plenty of international members who contribute to our mail list or visit to attend meetings. https://ctug.org.uk/meetings.html Fri, 09 Oct 2020 15:04:22 +0100 https://ctug.org.uk/meetings.html CTUG Meetings CTUG meetings are held approximately once per year, and are informal affairs for our members to come together and share their experience, knowledge, questions and tips. Most of the day is taken up with (usually) short presentations of recent work, as well as debate and discussion on a variety of topics, with occasional invited guest speakers to give an extended presentation on a relevant subject. The programmes for all past meetings, as well as the abstracts and pdf versions of presentations from more recent meetings can be downloaded by following the links below.
