ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing testing a computer aided diagnosis (CAD)-based system comprising receiving radiological image of a patient acquired using at least one piece of radiological equipment at least partially controlled by a technologist, the patient being controlled by the technologies relative to the radiological equipment in acquiring said radiological image. The method further comprising processing the radiological image by computer to test the radiological image to determine if the image meets a preselected standard relating to at least one of: technologist control of the patient relative to the radiological equipment during the image acquisition and technologist preparation of the radiological equipment for the image acquisition, wherein said preselected standard relating to technologist control of the patient relative to the radiological equipment during the image acquisition relates to one of (a) proper placement of anatomical part of the patient relative to a detector of the radiological equipment, and (b) controlling movement of the anatomical part of the patient relative to the detector during image acquisition. The method further comprising recording the results of the testing in a manner that associates said results with said technologist for facilitating evaluation of a performance of said technologist.
