This presentation will focus on examples and causes of artifacts produced by modern multi‐slice CT scanners. Many of these artifacts were recognized because of a stringent quality control program implemented in our institution. The design of this quality control program will be described, along with its relative costs and benefits. Extending such a program among scanners produced by different vendors will be discussed. Learning Objectives: 1. To recognize basic artifacts in patient and phantom images generated by modern multi‐slice CT scanners. 2. To understand some basic requirements of a quality control program for multi‐slice CT scanners.
