16、61895 IEC:1999(E) INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION ULTRASONICS PULSED DOPPLER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS TEST PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE PERFORMANCE FOREWORD 1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical

17、committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is e

18、ntrusted 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. The IEC collaborates closely with the

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

20、cts since each technical committee has representation from all interested National Committees. 3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by t

21、he National Committees in that sense. 4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any divergence between the IEC Standard and the corres

22、ponding national or regional standard shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards. 6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that

23、 some of the elements of this technical specification may be the subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In exceptional circumstances, a technical c

24、ommittee may propose the publication of a technical specification when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite repeated efforts, or the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the future but no im

25、mediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard. Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. IEC 61895, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical

26、 committee 87: Ultrasonics. The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents: Enquiry draft Report on voting 87/151/CDV 87/168/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above t

27、able.TS 61895 IEC:1999(E) 5 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Annex A forms an integral part of this technical specification. The committee has decided that this publication remains valid until 2005. At this date, in accordance with the committees d

28、ecision, the publication will be reconfirmed; withdrawn; replaced by a revised edition,or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. 6 TS 61895 IEC:1999(E) INTRODUCTION Pulsed ultrasonic Doppler flowmeters and velocimeters are widely used in clinical practice, us

29、ually in combination with real-time B-mode imaging and colour-flow imaging instruments. The device periodically transmits pulses of ultrasound from an ultrasound transducer and measures the Doppler shift in the frequency of ultrasound reflected and scattered from moving tissues. This Doppler shift i

30、s proportional to the component of reflector or scatterer velocity along the ultrasound beam. By looking for Doppler shifts in the received signal at specific times after transmission (range-gating), the device can be used to determine the variation of tissue velocity with distance along the ultraso

31、und beam. The device is sensitive to movement only within a region of the beam called the sample volume. The position of the sample volume along the beam may be adjusted by altering the delay between transmission and range-gating. Multi- channel devices have a number of sample volumes operating simu

32、ltaneously. The pulsed ultrasonic device is most commonly used to investigate blood flow when the ultrasound is scattered from red blood cells. This technical specification describes a range of tests which may be used to measure performance and the test objects required. In many cases, the test meth

33、od and test object have been described in IEC 61206 and in these cases reference is simply made to this document. Other tests and test objects are described in 1 and 2. The test methods may be considered as falling into one of the following three categories. The first is routine quality control test

34、s that can be carried out by a clinician or technologist to ensure that the system is working adequately or has adequate sensitivity. The second is more elaborate test methods, conducted less frequently, when, for example, the system is suspected of malfunctioning. The third represents tests that wo

35、uld be carried out by a manufacturer on complete systems in order to guarantee compliance with specification.TS 61895 IEC:1999(E) 7 ULTRASONICS PULSED DOPPLER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS TEST PROCEDURES TO DETERMINE PERFORMANCE 1 Scope This technical specification describes test methods for measuring the per

36、formance of pulsed Doppler ultrasound systems; Doppler test objects for carrying out these tests; and applies to tests made on an overall pulsed Doppler ultrasound system, a system which is not disassembled or disconnected; tests made on pulsed Doppler ultrasound systems whether they are stand-alone

37、 or as part of another ultrasound instrument. Electrical safety, acoustic output and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are not covered in this technical specification. The workload to perform all described tests is, in general, prohibitive. It is intended that a subset of the described tests is ad

38、opted for regular use. However, experience to give guidance for selection has still to be gathered and will be the subject of ongoing work. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this technical speci

39、fication. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this technical specification are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indica

40、ted below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
