Add more scanner models to the scanner list which requires the nCTDIw (head and body CTDI phantoms) values for 80, 100, 120, and 140 kV and head/body filters for 1 cm collimator.

Hello, Add spectral acquisition mode (e.g fast-kV switching)

Community reply

NCICT Batch mode does need a CTDIvol to operate. It happens quite often, that the CTDIvol is not known for an examination. It would be cool to have a batch mode, that can estimate the CDTIvol from the make, model, and technical parameters, as available in the GUI.

This function was available in NCICT 1.0 beta if I can remember correctly.

If possible, please add the newer CT ONE model of Canon (genesis/prism/insight) and the Canon Precision system Also, more paramteers in batch mode (like CT model and pitch) would be helpfull. Thank you!

Is it possible to add some information about new scanners? Siemens Go Top/go all? GE Revolution, Apex?

I understand that it is difficult to add these features since the market offers increasingly faster scanners.

NCI Dose Team response

We apologize for the delayed response. We have recently redesigned the CTDI library structure to facilitate the incorporation of CTDI values from newly released scanners, and we are planning a CTDI survey to collect user-contributed data after the upcoming official release of NCICT4 with detailed cardiac models. Please stay tuned.

Add support for locale-specific decimal separators in Windows (e.g., comma vs. dot) to ensure consistent numeric input and correct TCM handling.
