BS EN 60627:2015 is applicable to ANTI-SCATTER GRIDS used in medical diagnostic Xray
imaging equipment. ANTI-SCATTER GRIDS are used to reduce the incidence of SCATTERED
RADIATION, produced particularly in the body of the PATIENT, upon the IMAGE RECEPTION AREA
and thus to improve the contrast of the X-RAY PATTERN. This International Standard specifies
the definitions, determination and indication of characteristics of ANTI-SCATTER GRIDS.In this standard only LINEAR GRIDS are considered.Since at present only FOCUSED GRIDS are used in mammography, this standard is restricted to
FOCUSED GRIDS where MAMMOGRAPHIC ANTI-SCATTER GRIDS are concerned.This standard is not intended to be applied for ACCEPTANCE TESTS.This standard does not cover the homogeneity of performance over the area of a grid.This standard is intended to be applied for the determination of the characteristics of ANTISCATTER
GRIDS under test conditions. These conditions are not usually available at the site of
the RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION.Cross References:IEC 60601-1:2005IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012IEC 60601-1-3:2008IEC 60601-1-3:2008+A1:2013IEC/TR 60788:2004IEC 61267:2005EN 60601-1:2006EN 60601-1:2006+corr.
