What is BS EN 62494-1 - Definition and requirements for general radiography about?

BS EN 62494 is a European standard that discusses the exposure index of digital X-ray imaging systems. BS EN 62494-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that outlines the definitions and requirements for the exposure index of images acquired with digital X-ray imaging systems to assist in radiography. BS EN 62494-1 applies to digital x-ray imaging systems used in general radiography for producing projection X-ray images for general applications, such as, but not exclusively:

Computed radiography (CR) systems based on stimulable phosphors Flat-panel detector based systems Charge-coupled device (CCD) based systems

Note 1: Image intensifier based systems and systems for mammographic or dental applications are not covered in BS EN 62494-1 . Note 2: BS EN 62494-1 defines the exposure index only for images generated with a single irradiation event. images generated from multiple irradiations (e.g., tomosynthetic or dual-energy images, multiple views on a single CR plate) are not covered.
