Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments. Constancy tests. Method for hard copy cameras | Status: Current

1 Scope and object

1.1 Scope

This part of IEC 1223 applies to hard copy cameras producing images on monochrome continuous tone material (such as photographic films and materials sensitive to infrared radiation), and comprising types of cameras using a cathode ray tube, laser beam, or a thermoprinting system, as used in diagnostic imaging systems such as:

• — digital radiography;
• — digital subtraction angiography;
• — imaging in computed tomography;
• — magnetic resonance imaging;
• — ultrasound imaging;
• — imaging in nuclear medicine.

*The test methods are based on the use of test patterns. This standard does not apply to x-y (analogue) recording systems used in nuclear medicine. This standard is a part of a series of Particular Publications (standards and technical reports) which give methods of tests for the constancy of properties of diagnostic imaging systems as described in IEC 1223-1 (see clause 2).
