IEC 62709 Ed. 1.0 b – Radiation protection instrumentation – Security screening of humans – Measuring the imaging performance of X-ray systems

IEC 62709:2014 provides standard methods of measuring and reporting imaging quality characteristics that enable system manufacturers, potential system users and other interested parties to:
– establish a consistent indicator of the expected technical performance of screening systems used for the inspection of individuals;
– provide repeatable and verifiable imaging performance data that can be used to compare systems from different vendors;
– establish a baseline that can be used over time to calibrate the system or detect any performance degradation;
– establish minimum acceptable performance requirements for the systems described above.
