24、nts is normally expressed in the form of one single number for the value of the tubevoltage, irrespective of whether the tube voltage is constant potential or shows a timedependent waveform. Non-invasive instruments for the measurement of the X-RAY TUBEVOLTAGE on the market usually indicate the mean

25、 peak voltage. But the quantity mean peakvoltage is not unambiguously defined and may be any mean of all voltage peaks. It isimpossible to establish test procedures for the performance requirements of non-invasiveinstruments for the measurement of the X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE without the definition of the

26、quantity under consideration. Therefore, this Standard is based on a quantity recentlyproposed in the literature1to be called “PRACTICAL PEAK VOLTAGE“. The PRACTICAL PEAKVOLTAGE is unambiguously defined and applicable to any waveform. This quantity is related tothe spectral distribution of the emitt

27、ed X-RADIATION and the image properties. X-RAYGENERATORS operating at the same value of the PRACTICAL PEAK VOLTAGE will produce thesame low level contrast in the RADIOGRAMS, even when the waveforms of the tube voltagesare different. Detailed information on this concept is provided in Annex B. An exa

28、mple for thecalculation of the PRACTICAL PEAK VOLTAGE in the case of a “falling load” waveform is alsogiven in Annex B.As a result of introducing a new quantity, the problem arises that this standard has beenwritten for instruments which were not explicitly designed for the measurement of thePRACTIC

29、AL PEAK VOLTAGE. However, from preliminary results of a trial type test of a non-invasive instrument currently on the market, it can be expected that future instruments andmost instruments on the market will be able to fulfil the requirements stated in this standardwithout insurmountable difficultie

30、s. For the most critical requirements on voltage waveformand frequency dependence of the RESPONSE, it turned out from these investigations that it iseven easier to comply with the standard by using the PRACTICAL PEAK VOLTAGE as themeasurement quantity.The calibration and adjustment of the X-RAY TUBE

31、 VOLTAGE of an X-RAY GENERATOR is generallyperformed by the MANUFACTURER using a direct INVASIVE MEASUREMENT. Instruments utilisingNON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENTS can also be used to check the calibration or to adjust THE X-RAYTUBE VOLTAGE. These instruments are required to have uncertainties of the volta

32、gemeasurement comparable with the INVASIVE MEASUREMENT. One of the most importantparameters of diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT is the voltage applied to the X-RAY TUBE, becauseboth the image quality in diagnostic radiology and the DOSE received by the PATIENTundergoing radiological examinations are depen

33、dent on the X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE. An overalluncertainty below g1775 % is required, and this value serves as a guide for the LIMITS OFVARIATION for the effects of INFLUENCE QUANTITIES.1See annex B.BS EN 61676:2002+A1:2009EN 61676:2002Page 467616 g211 EI2:C200(E) 5 MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Dosimetri

35、This standard also describes the method for calibration and gives guidancefor estimating the uncertainty in measurements performed under conditions different fromthose during calibration.Applications for such measurement are found in diagnostic RADIOLOGY includingmammography, COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT

36、), dental radiology and RADIOSCOPY. This standardis not concerned with the safety aspect of such instruments.
