17、February 2006. EN 14784 comprises a series of European Standards for industrial computed radiography with storage phosphor imaging plates which is made up of the following: EN 14784-1 Non-destructive testing Industrial computed radiography with storage phosphor imaging plates Part 1: Classification
18、of systems EN 14784-2 Non-destructive testing Industrial computed radiography with storage phosphor imaging plates Part 2: General principles for testing of metallic materials using X-rays and gamma rays According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the f
19、ollowing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sw
20、eden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 14784-1:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies fundamental parameters of computed radiography systems with the aim of enabling satisfactory and repeatable results to be obtained economically. The techniques are based both on fundamental theory an
21、d test measurements. This document specifies the performance of computed radiography (CR) systems and the measurement of the corresponding parameters for the system scanner and storage phosphor imaging plate (IP). It describes the classification of these systems in combination with specified metal s
22、creens for industrial radiography. It is intended to ensure that the quality of images - as far as this is influenced by the scanner-IP system - is in conformity with the requirements of Part 2 of this document. The document relates to the requirements of film radiography defined in EN 584-1 and ISO
23、 11699-1. This European Standard defines system tests at different levels. More complicated tests are described, which allow the determination of exact system parameters. They can be used to classify the systems of different suppliers and make them comparable for users. These tests are specified as
24、manufacturer tests. Some of them require special tools, which are usually not available in user laboratories. Therefore, simpler user tests are also described, which are designed for a fast test of the quality of CR systems and long term stability. There are several factors affecting the quality of
25、a CR image including geometrical un-sharpness, signal/noise ratio, scatter and contrast sensitivity. There are several additional factors (e.g. scanning parameters), which affect the accurate reading of images on exposed IPs using an optical scanner. The quality factors can be determined most accura
26、tely by the manufacturer tests as described in this document. Individual test targets, which are recommended for practical user tests, are described for quality assurance. These tests can be carried out either separately or by the use of the CR Phantom (Annex B). This CR Phantom incorporates many of
27、 the basic quality assessment methods and those associated with the correct functioning of a CR system, including the scanner, for reading exposed plates and in correctly erasing IPs for future use of each plate. The CR System classes in this document do not refer to any particular manufacturers Ima
28、ging Plates. A CR system class results from the use of a particular imaging plate together with the exposure conditions particularly total exposure the scanner type and the scanning parameters. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this Eu
