15、8-1 : 1999 1 Scope The procedures given in this standard can be applied to all radioscopic systems which provide an electronic signal to a display unit or an automated image interpretation system. The radioscopic system is analysed for the response to well defined test specimen. The measurement shou

16、ld be performed by a sufficiently equipped laboratory. From the results, the specifications of the imaging system regarding image properties can be derived. This standard so far does not include imaging properties under moving conditions. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, b

20、evice. An imaging device consists of an X- or gamma ray conversion device which transforms the radiation relief into an output signal S for numerical or optical presentation (see figure 1). Image processing systems can be part of the imaging device. In the case of visual evaluation it includes the d

21、isplay unit. In cases of fully automated image evaluation systems the display unit is not part of the system.

22、n of the imaging properties of imaging devices terms and parameters of information theory and radiographic testing are used. The parameters in table 1 define the image quality of imaging devices. In some descriptions of image quality parameters the term “signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR)“ is used. Within

23、the meaning of information theory SNR is the ratio of the actual partial scale signal AS to rms-value %Ms of the overlay noise signal, see figure 2. Page 4 EN 13068-1 : 1999 a Signal Figure 2 - Determination of AS and S, from output signal S 4 Measurement of image quality parameters 4.1 Principle 4.

24、1.1 Conversion device The basis of all measurements with the conversion device is the use of a defined radiation relief by artificial test indicators as an input signal and the measurement of the system response in the linear raw output signal with suit- able measuring equipment (see figure 1). All

25、measurements shall be done with the imaging device itself. In figure 3 the principle set up for all measurements is shown. The radiation filter shall be placed in front of the X-ray tube. Collimators shall be used to reduce scattering radiation. All test indicators shall be placed in front of the in

26、put screen of the conversion device. They produce a defined radiation relief as an input signal. Measuring equipment shall be connected to the final output signal for measurement of the total system response. For video signals the measuring equipment shall fulfill the following minimum requirements:

27、 - - - Bandwidth 2 50 MHz; - - Signal averaging function. Amplitude resolution 2 10 Bit; Time resolution 2 1 O Bit = 1024 sample points; Minimum sampling rate 2 100 MHz; Page 5 EN 13068-1 : 1999 5 e .- c c E a Q - m 3 U W o, - E C O o C ._ c i2 U a a v) w C L LL Y ._ o uo c e E c ffl C O o c m Page

29、copic system with constant potential X- ray equipment. In order to guarantee a defined radiation quality, the radiation filtering shall be used as given in table 2. The tube current shall be adjusted to give a dose rate of 0,Ol mGy/min; 0,l mGy/min; 1,0 mGy/min or 10 mGy/min at the input plane of th

31、tem shall be operated in accordance with the instruction manual and manufacturers instructions. The radiation intensity shall be adjusted to such a value that in the middle of the input screen behind the radiation filter (without any test specimen) the output signal S shows the maximum signal amplit

32、ude S,.The radiation intensity shall be measured with an ionization chamber in the middle in front of the input screen and documented together with all other measuring results. X-ray detectors should have a sufficient period of use (e. g. for X-ray image intensifiers 1 Gy) before the measurements ar

33、e made. 4.1.2 Display unit and image processor For assessment of display units and image processors the following procedure is recommended. A bar pattern is generated by an electronic test pattern generator according to the requirements 4.1.1 for measuring equipment (according to EN 29241 -2 and EN

34、29241 -3). The generator shall be able to produce vertical bars up to the limiting band width of the display unit or image processor. The bar pattern is displayed on the image display unit. For evaluation a small section (max. 10 Yo of the total display area) is picked up by an optical sensor. The r

35、esult is digitized. Suitable optical sensors are TV cameras or linear line-scan cameras. The magnification scale shall be at least 10. Therefore, at least 10 pixels in the frame buffer are available for the presentation of 1 pixel on the N monitor. Beating effects between the pixel frequencies of th

36、e display unit and camera can be compensated by signal integration. 4.2 Measurement procedures 4.2.1 Conversion device 4.2.1.1 Sharpness (spatial resolution) In order to characterize the system sharpness the following three image quality parameters shall be measured: a) Inherent unsharpness For meas

37、urement of the inherent unsharpness 1.1 (see equation (2) an intensity step function shall be produced by a sharp edge of absorbent material (figure 4). The image of the edge shall be located in the centre of the input screen perpendicular and horizontal to the read out line of the detector. The rad

38、iation intensity shall be adjusted by the tube current according to the selected values as given in 4.1. In order to reduce the effect of scattered radiation the input screen shall be covered by absorbing material whereby approximately 10 Yo of the input screen should be irradiated only. The system

39、shall be adjusted such that the output signal shows a black-to-white signal (Edge Spread Function ESF) with a minimum signal amplitude of 90 Yo of the maximum electronic signal amplitude and an overshoot less than 10 %. The inherent unsharpness is proporional to the rise time t, of the edge spread f

40、unction. If there is an adjustable diaphragm the setting shall be stated in the protocol. Page 8 EN 13068-1 : 1999 A second measurement will give the value for the scale factor s, in order to calculate the inherent unsharpness in millimetres (figure 5). The edge shall be substituted by a test indica

41、tor with well-known length /and the corre- sponding dimension (time interval for an output signal) x, shall be measured (see equation (I). (1) I S =_ “4 L/; = s, . 1, with overshoot 5 10 h with 4 = 90 % - ESF - 10 Z - ESF b) SDatial modulation transfer function MTF) The starting point for the calcul

42、ation of the MTF is the edge spread function from the former unsharpness measurement (figure 6). The edge spread function shall be digitized with high resolution and stored in a computer. The sampling theorem shall be considered. In the next step the ESF shall numerically be differentiated in order

43、to get the Line Spread Function LSF. The magnitude spectrum of the Fourier-transformed LSF will give the MTF. For a common representation of MTF curve the modulation m for the spatial frequency f= O Lp/mm shall be normalized to m = 1. If possible the vertical MTF can be determined by using the unmod

44、ified grey values taken from a digital image processing system. c) Contrast ratio for low sDatial frequencies To measure the contrast ratio Co at first the input screen shall be irradiated with a uniform radiation relief without any mask (figure 7). The mean signal amplitude So in the middle of the

45、input screen area shall be measured. In the next step 10 Yo of the input screen area shall be covered with an absorbent mask in the centre and again the mean amplitude S, of the electronic signal behind the mask shall be measured. The absorbent mass shall reduce the intensity of the radiation by a f

46、actor 1000. 4.2.1.2 Contrast The exposure time per frame, the number of integrated frames and the dose rate shall be stated in the protocol. Contrast properties of the radioscopic system are described by the following image quality parameters: a) Contrast sensitivity For producing the radiation reli

47、ef with decreasing radiation contrast a steel plate of thickness din combination with a step wedge (steel) on the source side of the plate shall be positioned in front of the input screen (figure 8). The step wedge shall be positioned in the direction of the read out line of the detector and in the

48、centre of the input screen. In the output signal the signal-to-noise-ratio SNR of each step wedge shall be measured. The thinnest step with a SNR 2 2 shall be regarded as the minimal detectable wall thickness change Aw,. S= A w,Jw (4) In order to reduce the influence of quantum noise the feature of

49、signal averaging shall be used. b) Wall thickness ranae At the beginning of the measurement radiation parameter like energy and tube current shall be defined and fixed. Only a small part (- 1 O %) of the front screen shall be irradiated in order to reduce scattering effects. In front of the input screen a step-like test indicator with a step height of - 1 mm shall be placed (figure 9 ). The thinnest step w, which gives the maximum amplitude S, of the output signal shall be the starting point of the measurement. The test indicator shall be shift
