AS/NZS 4356.5:1996

Applies to electro-optical X-ray image intensifiers for medical use, as components of diagnostic X-ray systems. It describes a method of determining the detective quantum efficiency of the intensifier. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 1262-5:1994.

This International Standard applies to ELECTRO-OPTICAL X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS for medical use, as components of diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT. This International Standard describes a method ofdetermining the DETECTIVE QUANTUM EFFICIENCY (DQE) of X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS by analysis ofthe single gamma-ray photon scintillation pulse-height spectrum. The method of this standard applies only to ELECTRO-OPTICAL X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS having output radiance decay rates approximately equal to or faster than that of a P-20 phosphor.
