PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To find the defect of image quality evaluation due to handling of a QC phantom and to take a measure for the handling of the QC phantom.SOLUTION: In the image quality management support method, a radiation image for which the QC phantom in which an installation discrimination member and a member for evaluation are inherent is photographed is acquired, and the QC identification information of the QC phantom is acquired. Also, the position of the installation discrimination member is specified on the basis of the acquired radiation image, and the installation information of the QC phantom is calculated on the basis of the specified position of the installation discrimination member. Also, evaluated result information is generated by executing an evaluation operation corresponding to each member for the evaluation on the basis of the radiation image, and an evaluation report in which the evaluated result information, the QC identification information and installation information are made to correspond is stored.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】QCファントムの取り扱いに起因する画質評価の不良を発見でき、QCファントムの取り扱いに対する対策を講じさせ得ること。【解決手段】設置判別部材と評価用部材とが内在されたQCファントムが撮影された放射線画像を取得し、当該QCファントムのQC識別情報を取得し、また、取得された放射線画像に基づいて設置判別部材の位置を特定し、特定した設置判別部材の位置に基づいてQCファントムの設置情報を算出し、また、放射線画像に基づいて評価用部材毎に対応する評価演算を行って評価結果情報を生成し、評価結果情報とQC識別情報と設置情報とが対応付けられた評価レポートを記憶する画像品質管理支援方法。【選択図】図5
