24、ANE to the OUTPUT IMAGE of an ELECTRO-OPTICAL X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIER. It will however be assumed that angular distortions like the S-shaped distortion of a straight line through the CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD can be reduced to a small size by adequate magnetic shielding since the X-RAY IMAGE INTE
25、NSIFIER itself is by construction very nearly axially symmetrical. Therefore this standard will be confined to radial distortion. A slight S-shaped distortion may persist in spite of the shielding. Its influence on the measurement of magnification, described below, is negligible. 1 Scope This Intern
26、ationalStandard applies to ELECTRO-OPTICAL X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS for medical use, as components of diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT. This InternationalStandard describes a method of determining the IMAGE DISTORTION of X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS. 2 Normative reference The following standard contains provi
27、sions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this InternationalStandard. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this InternationalStandard are encouraged to investigate the possib
28、ility of applying the most recent edition of the standard indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. IEC788:1984, Medical Radiology Terminology. 3 Terminology 3.1 Definitions For the purposes of this InternationalStandard, the following def
29、initions apply together with those given in IEC788. The definitions given below take preference over those given in IEC788 when differences occur. 3.1.1 XRII an abbreviation for ELECTRO-OPTICAL X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIER 3.1.2 ENTRANCE PLANE the plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the XRII a
30、nd grazing the part of the XRII, including its housing, that protrudes most in the direction of the RADIATION SOURCE 3.1.3 Not used. 3.1.4 ENTRANCE FIELD SIZE for an XRII, the diameter of the field in the ENTRANCE PLANE that can be used at a specified SED for the transmission of an X-RAY PATTERN. Fo
31、r an XRII with more than one magnification mode, the ENTRANCE FIELD SIZE for each of the magnification modes shall correspond to the same diameter of the XRII OUTPUT IMAGE occurring with the largest ENTRANCE FIELD SIZE 3.1.5 SOURCE TO ENTRANCE PLANE DISTANCE (abbreviation SED) the distance between t
32、he FOCAL SPOT of the X-RAY TUBE and the ENTRANCE PLANE of the XRII 3.1.6 CENTRE OF THE OUTPUT IMAGE the centre of the smallest circle circumscribing the OUTPUT IMAGE 3.1.7 CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD that point in the ENTRANCE PLANE which is imaged at the CENTRE OF THE OUTPUT IMAGE 3.1.8 CENTRAL AX
33、IS the line perpendicular to the ENTRANCE PLANE passing through the CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD 3.1.9 CENTRAL MAGNIFICATION as a characteristic of XRIIs, the ratio of the length in the OUTPUT IMAGE to the actual length of a small object placed in the ENTRANCE PLANE symmetrically about the CENTRAL A
34、XIS 3.1.10 IMAGE DISTORTION as a characteristic of an XRII, variation of the magnification of the image of an object. IMAGE DISTORTION is expressed with respect to a reference magnification (CENTRAL MAGNIFICATION) and as a function of either position (DIFFERENTIAL RADIAL IMAGE DISTORTION) or size (I

39、us of this circular TEST DEVICE 3.2 Degree of requirements and reading instructions In this InternationalStandard the auxiliary verb: and the following words have the meaning: 4 Requirements 4.1 Test set-up a) The SED shall be100cm 1cm. b) The FOCAL SPOT of the X-RAY TUBE shall be on the CENTRAL AXI
40、S. c) The TEST DEVICE shall be placed in a plane as close as possible to, but not more than10mm in front of, and parallel to, the ENTRANCE PLANE. For the determination of the LOCAL RADIAL MAGNIFICATION, the line of hash marks on the TEST DEVICE shall pass through the CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD. Fo
41、r the determination of the CENTRAL MAGNIFICATION, the TEST DEVICE shall be placed symmetrically to the CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD. The departure from symmetry with respect to the CENTRE OF THE ENTRANCE FIELD shall not exceed2% of the ENTRANCE FIELD SIZE. 4.2 X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIER Operating condi
42、tions a) The XRII shall be operated under the conditions for NORMAL USE as specified by the manufacturer. 1) At off-axis points, the LOCAL RADIAL MAGNIFICATION is, in general, not equal to the local tangential magnification. Since the LOCAL RADIAL MAGNIFICATION (in conjunction with the CENTRAL MAGNI
43、FICATION, to which it is referred) is used to determine the DIFFERENTIAL RADIAL IMAGE DISTORTION, it is necessary to include the adjective “Radial” in definitions3.1.11 and3.1.13. In the case of INTEGRAL MAGNIFICATION (3.1.14), and hence also INTEGRAL IMAGE DISTORTION (3.1.12), a distinction between
44、 radial and tangential is unnecessary since they are the same in the radial and tangential directions. “shall” implies that compliance with a requirement is mandatory for compliance with the standard; “should” implies that compliance with a requirement is strongly recommended but is not mandatory fo
45、r compliance with the standard; “may” implies that compliance with a requirement is permitted to be accomplished in a particular manner for compliance with the standard; “specific” when used in combination with parameters or conditions:refers to a particular value or standardized arrangement, usuall
46、y to those required in an IEC standard or a legal requirement; seeIEC788, rm-74-01. “specified” when used in combination with parameters or conditions: refers to a value or arrangement to be chosen for the purpose under consideration and indicated usually in the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS; seeIEC788, rm
47、-74-02. “designed for” when used in standards to characterize equipment, devices, components or arrangements: designates an intended and usually apparent purpose or use for the product.EN61262-4:1994 BSI 01-2000 5 b) Not used. c) In the case of multiple-field XRIIs, the measurement shall be made for
48、 the largest specified ENTRANCE FIELD SIZE. Measurements for other ENTRANCE FIELD SIZES are optional. 4.3 Input radiation The combination of the ATTENUATION EQUIVALENT of the TEST DEVICE and the RADIATION QUALITY used for the determination of the values of magnification shall be such that the image
49、of the TEST DEVICE has a high contrast. The radiation intensity shall be sufficient to obtain an image at a low noise level. 4.4 TEST DEVICE The TEST DEVICE shall consist of a thin X-RADIATION transparent panel with X-RADIATION absorbing markings along which distance measurements can be made. Horizontal and vertical equidistant hash marks shall be used for the measurement of the CENTRAL and LOCAL RADIAL MAGNIFICATION. Circular markings shall be used for the measurement of INTEGRAL MAGNIFICATION: This avoids measurement difficultie
