37、g Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 11/08/2009 03:51, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 6 62220-1-3 IEC:2008 INTRODUCTION DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES are increasingly used in medical diagnosis and will widely replace conventional (analogue) imaging devices such as screen-film systems or analogue X-RAY I

38、MAGE INTENSIFIER television systems in the future. It is necessary, therefore, to define parameters that describe the specific imaging properties of these DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES and to standardize the measurement procedures employed. There is growing consensus in the scientific world that the

39、 DETECTIVE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY (DQE) is the most suitable parameter for describing the imaging performance of an X-ray imaging device. The DQE describes the ability of the imaging device to preserve the signal-to-NOISE ratio from the radiation field to the resulting digital image data. Since in X-ray

40、 imaging, the NOISE in the radiation field is intimately coupled to the AIR KERMA level, DQE values can also be considered to describe the dose efficiency of a given DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE. NOTE 1 In spite of the fact that the DQE is widely used to describe the performance of imaging devices,

41、the connection between this physical parameter and the decision performance of a human observer is not yet completely understood 1, 3.1)NOTE 2 IEC 61262-5 specifies a method to determine the DQE of X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS at nearly zero SPATIAL FREQUENCY. It focuses only on the electro-optical comp

42、onents of X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS, not on the imaging properties as this standard does. As a consequence, the output is measured as an optical quantity (luminance), and not as digital data. Moreover, IEC 61262-5 prescribes the use of a RADIATION SOURCE ASSEMBLY, whereas this standard prescribes the

43、 use of an X-RAY TUBE. The scope of IEC 61262-5 is limited to X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS and does not interfere with the scope of this standard. The DQE is already widely used by manufacturers to describe the performance of their DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE. The specification of the DQE is also requi

44、red by regulatory agencies (such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for admission procedures. However, there is presently no standard governing either the measurement conditions or the measurement procedure, with the consequence that values from different sources may not be comparable. This s

45、tandard has therefore been developed in order to specify the measurement procedure together with the format of the conformance statement for the DETECTIVE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY of DIGITAL X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES. In the DQE calculations proposed in this standard, it is assumed that system response is mea

46、sured for objects that attenuate all energies equally (task-independent) 5. This standard will be beneficial for manufacturers, users, distributors and regulatory agencies. It is the third document out of a series of three related standards: Part 1, which is intended to be used in RADIOGRAPHY, exclu

47、ding MAMMOGRAPHY and RADIOSCOPY. Part 1-2, which is intended to be used for MAMMOGRAPHY. the present Part 1-3, which is intended to be used for dynamic imaging detectors. These standards can be regarded as the first part of the family of IEC 62220 standards describing the relevant parameters of DIGI
