BS EN 61223-3-1:1999 Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments. Acceptance tests. Imaging performance of X-ray equipment for radiographic and radiscopic systems
This part of IEC 61223 applies to those components of X-RAY EQUIPMENT which influence the image quality and PATIENT dose of diagnostic X-ray systems using radiographic and radioscopic imaging systems.
This standard applies to the performance of X-RAY EQUIPMENT in the ACCEPTANCE TEST on the following medical diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT and ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT:
- radiography equipment, for example:
· stationary radiography EQUIPMENT;
· mobile radiography EQUIPMENT;
· skull radiography EQUIPMENT;
· lung radiography EQUIPMENT;
· TOMOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT - excluding COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY;
· radiography devices (SPOTFILM DEVICES) in RADIOSCOPY EQUIPMENT;
· angiography EQUIPMENT (excluding DSA function);
· CINERADIOGRAPHY equipment;
- RADIOSCOPY EQUIPMENT, including:
· combined radiographic and radioscopic EQUIPMENT.
This standard applies to the generation of X-RADIATION and ACCESSORIES of digital systems. It does not apply to any digital image acquisition or image processing parts of the above mentioned diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
NOTE - Since the characterization of digital detectors and image processing is still under development, this will be included in a later edition of this standard.
This standard does not apply to mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT, RADIOTHERAPY simulators, nor to dental X-RAY EQUIPMENT.
