26、mittees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technic

27、al Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmenta

28、l and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agre

29、ements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use

30、and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the 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 promot

31、e international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicat

32、ed in the latter. 5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to

33、 IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

34、 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9)

41、E CHINA STANDARDS, 08/07/2009 02:40, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI62494-1 IEC:2008 5 INTRODUCTION The direct connection between the level of detector exposure and optical density is well established in film-screen radiology. This is not the case in digital radiography, where almost always a constant im

42、age characteristic is achieved using automatic image 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

43、alarming aspect (from a radiation protection point 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 t

44、he original image data of each image taken, which 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 EXPO

45、SURE INDEX for all digital radiography systems is 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 h

46、ere refers to the definition, the scale and the general 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

47、detector exposure level suitable for the intended 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

48、to the air kerma at the image receptor. The relation 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

49、-to-noise level, which in turn is determined by the 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 INDEX. This standard introduces a second parameter, called DEVIATION INDEX, which quantifies the deviation o
