23、nts for general radiography FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions conce

24、rning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Thei

25、r preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non- governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates c

26、losely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the rel

27、evant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the

28、 technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximu

Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible

This is not the case in digital radiography, where almost always a constant image characteristic is achieved using automatic im

39、age processing. Consequently, deviations from the intended exposure, i.e., over- and underexposure, are not noticeable by a corresponding deviation in image brightness. While considerable underexposure results in an increased level of noise, the more alarming aspect (from a radiation protection poin

40、t of view) is that overexposure cannot be recognized easily in the displayed image. Therefore, various manufacturers of digital radiography systems have introduced so-called exposure indicators for their equipment. These are numbers, determined from the original image data of each image taken, which

41、 allow conclusions about the level of the exposure at the image receptor. However, the exposure indicators are manufacturer or system specific, i.e. they differ for the systems of different manufacturers in their definition and scaling. A unified EXPOSURE INDEX for all digital radiography systems is

42、 needed to simplify its usage, e.g. for the establishment of exposure guidelines, particularly when systems of different manufacturers are used within the same department. This standard defines such a concept of the EXPOSURE INDEX. What is laid down here refers to the definition, the scale and the g

43、eneral requirements for the EXPOSURE INDEX. The process of its calculation in detail (software algorithm) is excluded from this standard as to not obstruct technical progress. The EXPOSURE INDEX allows the OPERATOR to judge if an image was taken at a detector exposure level suitable for the intended

44、 level of image quality. It is important to note that the EXPOSURE INDEX, as defined in this standard, is derived from the image signal, which in turn is usually related to the energy absorbed in the detector, i.e. the detector dose, but not directly to the air kerma at the image receptor. The relat

45、ion to IMAGE RECEPTOR AIR KERMA (air kerma at the detector surface) is introduced only at one radiation quality through calibration. However, this definition is appropriate as the image quality in digital radiography is determined mainly by the signal-to-noise level, which in turn is determined by t

46、he absorbed energy. Annex A provides more details on the rationale, properties and use of the EXPOSURE INDEX. The level of detector exposure needed to obtain a suitable level of image quality may vary depending on body part, view, or the x-ray imaging system used, as may the appropriate EXPOSURE IND

47、EX. This standard introduces a second parameter, called DEVIATION INDEX, which quantifies the deviation of an actual EXPOSURE INDEX from the appropriate EXPOSURE INDEX (called TARGET EXPOSURE INDEX). While this parameter does not relate to the image receptor dose on an absolute scale, it allows the

48、operator an easy check whether the exposure is considered acceptable for the specific imaging task. Annex B provides more details on the rationale, properties and use of the DEVIATION INDEX. The storage of the EXPOSURE INDEX (and the DEVIATION INDEX) together with the image data, e.g., in a DICOM ta

49、g field, allows the documentation and communication of the image receptor dose level in clinical practice. The EXPOSURE INDEX does not obviate the use of dose parameters that describe the patients exposure to radiation, such as, for example, the REFERENCE AIR KERMA or the kerma-area product. Because the relation between patient exposure and detector exposure is influenced by a number of factors that
