"Recommended
Standards for the Routine Performance Testing of Diagnostic
X-Ray Imaging Systems" (IPEM Report 91).
This report replaces IPEM Report 77 and provides essential guidance
for anyone responsible for diagnostic X-ray equipment. This document
gives clear advice on which routine performance tests are essential
and which are desirable, where to get information on how to do them,
who should be doing them and how often they should be done. For many
tests it also gives guidance as to when the results indicate further
action should be taken. This second edition takes into account the introduction
of new technologies in medical imaging including CR, DDR and image display
devices.
