Overview
The International Standard has been prepared by IEC/TC 62/SC 62 B "Diagnostic imaging equipment". This International Standard provides evaluation methods for testing image display systems used in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems for diagnostic imaging. On site or after installation, two types of testing can be carried out. An acceptance test is carried out after a new image display system has been installed, or major modifications have been made to the existing image display system. Since an image display system may degrade over time, the constancy test is carried out by the user in a periodic cycle to verify that the performance is maintained for the intended use. The standard describes various evaluation methods without dictating what particular tests shall be used for acceptance and/or constancy tests. Rather, it is the intention of this standard to be a reference for other standards and guidelines specific to each modality or to be defined by national authorities who will refer to the evaluation methods of this standard and mention limiting values and frequencies for acceptance and constancy tests. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 080-00-16 GA NAR/DKE Joint Committee "Bildgebende Systeme" ("Imaging systems").
