16、SECTION 1 SECTION2 SECTION 3 STANDARD TEST CONDIONS SECTION 4 DETERMINATION SECTION 5 FIGURE i Foreword This NEMA Standards Publication is one of a series of test standards developed by the X-ray imaging products Section and the medical diagnostic imaging industry for the measurement of performance

17、characteristics governing the image quality of X-ray image intensifier (XRIi) systems. These test standards are intended for the use of equipment manufacturers, prospective purchasers, and users dike. Manufacturers may find these standards useful in establishing standard test conditions for the dete

18、rmination of system performance specifications. prospeCtive equipment purchasers may benefit drom these standards as the employment of standard test conditions and methods enables meaningful comparisons to be made of NEMA-referencexk competitive, equipment performance speci- fications. Users may als

19、o benefit hm these standards through a better appreciation of the Characterizing the parameters that govern image quality is a non-trivial task. The assess- ment of image quality lies in the eye of the beholder and so is a somewhat subjective measure influenced by the spatial, temporal, conhast, and

20、 noise characteristics of the image. Histon- cally, many techniques have been developed employing varying degrees of sophistication to establish subjective and objective measures of these parameters, and the following nonexhaustive list of parameters can be considered as relevant to image quality: p

21、erformance of XRII systems. Conmt Ratio Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) Fixed Pattern Noise Gain image Signal Uniformity Lag Limiting Spatial Resolution Modulation Transfer Function 0 Noise Power Spectrum Radiai Image Distortion Signal to Noise Ratio Visible Entrance Field Size These parameters a

22、re not ail independent and some of them may partiaiiy overlap in assessing the image quality. Moreover, it must be recognized that not aii of these parameters lend themselves to measurement at the installation site. Some parameters require instrumen- tation better suited to factory measurements whil

23、e others require the facilities of an instru- mentation laboratory to assure the stable test conditions necessary for reliable measurements. The NEMA X-ray image Intensifier Systems Subcornminee intends to makea selection from the above-mentioned list of parameters where practical and technically fe

24、asible measure- ments can be made at the system level and to prepare a set of NEMA standards. This publication has been prepared by the X-Ray Imaging Products Section of NEMA which periodically reviews it for revisions necessary to keep it up to date with advancing technology.
