41、2007Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 10/07/2008 09:17, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 7 INTRODUCTION Standards containing safety requirements for medical ELECTRON ACCELERATORS have been published by the IEC, details of which will be found in Clause 2. The present standard specifies
42、 methods of testing and methods of disclosure of functional performance of medical ELECTRON ACCELERATORS intended for RADIOTHERAPY. It permits a direct comparison between the performance data of equipment of different MANUFACTURERS. Since this standard does not contain safety requirements, it has no
43、t been numbered in the IEC 60601 publication series. It describes aspects of functional performance of medical ELECTRON ACCELERATORS and the way in which they should be presented. It also includes test methods and conditions suitable for TYPE TESTS. These test methods are suggested test methods and
44、alternative methods may be equally appropriate, but the specified functional performance characteristics of medical ELECTRON ACCELERATORS shall be related to these test methods and conditions. Tests specified in this standard are not necessarily appropriate for ensuring that any individual medical E
45、LECTRON ACCELERATOR conforms to the declared functional performance during the course of its working lifetime. Guidance on the values which may be expected is given in the technical report, IEC 60977. This International Standard was first published in 1989. With the rapidly increasing use of medical
46、 ELECTRON ACCELERATORS equipped with multi-element BEAM LIMITING DEVICES (BLDs), amendments to both this standard and the associated report, IEC 60977, were published in 2000. Amendment 1 was intended mainly to address the basic performance issues associated with the applications of multi-element BL
47、Ds to static RADIATION FIELDS. This second edition includes the addition of performance standards and test methods relating to several relatively new technologies introduced within the last few years, including dynamic beam delivery techniques, such as MOVING BEAM RADIOTHERAPY, INTENSITY-MODULATED R
48、ADIATION THERAPY (IMRT), IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY (IGRT), and PROGRAMMABLE WEDGE FIELDS (PWF). Also included are STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY (SRT)/STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY (SRS) and the use of certain ELECTRONIC IMAGING DEVICES. In recognition of the diversity of equipment produced by MANUFACTURERS
49、in each of these technologies, this second edition has specified performance standards, methods of test, and methods of disclosure of functional performance, that are as basic and generic as possible. MANUFACTURERS may add more detailed information and special tests of performance characteristics to each perfor
