FR Recognition Number 12-176
Standard
IEC  61223-3-2 Second eidtion 2007-07
Evaluation and routine testing in medical imaging departments - Part 3-2: Acceptance tests - Imaging performance of mammographic X-ray equipment
Scope/Abstract
This part of IEC 61223 applies to the effectiveness of mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT, with respect to image quality and dose, in combination with aspects of EQUIPMENT safety.

This standard applies to mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT and MAMMOGRAPHIC STEREOTACTIC DEVICES.

The tests described in this standard require the quality and performance of the X-RAY IMAGE RECEPTORS to be assured prior to the acceptance testing when they are not an integral part of the mammographic X-RAY EQUIPMENT. This includes RADIOGRAPHIC FILMS, INTENSIFYING SCREENS, RADIOGRAPHIC CASSETTES, storage phosphor plates and ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT such as film processors or storage phosphor plate readers, IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICES and HARD COPY CAMERAS.

For testing RADIOGRAPHIC CASSETTES and INTENSIFYING SCREENS, this standard makes reference to ISO 4090. Sensitivity and contrast for the screen-film image receptors are considered to be stated according to ISO 9236-3.
