Non-destructive testing - Qualification of radiographic film digitisation systems - Part 1: Definitions, quantitative measurements of image quality parameters, standard reference film and qualitative control (ISO 14096-1:2005)

ISO 14096-1:2005 specifies procedures for the evaluation of basic performance parameters of the radiographic film digitisation process such as spatial resolution and spatial linearity, density range, density contrast sensitivity and characteristic transfer curve. They can be integrated into the system software and together with a standard reference film used for quality control of the digitisation process. This reference film provides a series of test targets for performance evaluation. The test targets are suitable for evaluating a digitisation system with a spatial resolution down to 25 micrometres, a density contrast sensitivity down to 0,02 optical density, a density range of 0,5 to 4,5 and a film size capacity of (350 x 430) mm2. This standard does not address signal processing and display of the digitised data.

Diese Europäische Norm legt Messvorschriften für die Bestimmung von Basisparametern für Röntgenfilm-Digitalisierungssysteme wie Ortsauflösung und geometrische Linearität, Umfang der optischen Dichte, Dichtekontrastempfindlichkeit und charakteristische Übertragungskurve fest. Diese Messvorschriften können in die Systemsoftware integriert und in Verbindung mit einem Standard-Referenzfilm (wie in Abschnitt 5 beschrieben) zur Qualitätssicherung des Digitalisierungsvorganges benutzt werden. Dieser Referenzfilm verfügt über eine Reihe von Testmustern zur Bestimmung der Leistungsfähigkeit des Digitalisierungssystems. Die Testmuster sind geeignet für die Überprüfung von Digitalisierungssystemen mit einer Ortsauflösung von maximal 25 µm, einer Dichtekontrastempfindlichkeit von 0,02 optische Dichten, einem Bereich der optischen Dichte („Filmschwärzung“) zwischen 0,5 und 4,5 und einer maximalen Filmgröße von (350  430) mm2. Diese Norm behandelt weder die Signalverarbeitung noch die Darstellung der digitalisierten Daten.

Essais non destructifs - Qualification des systèmes de numérisation des films radiographiques - Partie 1: Définitions, mesures quantitatives des paramètres de qualité d'image, film de référence normalisé et contrôle qualitatif (ISO 14096-1:2005)

L'ISO 14096-1:2005 spécifie les procédures d'évaluation des paramètres de performance de base du processus de numérisation des films radiographiques tels que la résolution et la linéarité spatiales, la plage de densité, la sensibilité au contraste de densité et la courbe de transfert caractéristique. Ils peuvent être intégrés au logiciel du système ainsi qu'au film de référence normalisé utilisé pour le contrôle qualité du processus de numérisation. Ce film de référence comporte une série de cibles de contrôle pour l'évaluation de la performance. Ces cibles de contrôle permettent une évaluation du système de numérisation présentant une résolution spatiale allant jusqu'à 25 µm, une sensibilité au contraste de densité avec jusqu'à 0,02 de densité optique, une plage de densité comprise entre 0,5 et 4,5 et un format de film d'une capacité de (350 x 430) mm2 (14 x 17 pouces). L'ISO 14096-1:2005 ne s'adresse pas au traitement du signal et à l'affichage des données numérisées.

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies

(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO

technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been

established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and

non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards

adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an

International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 14096-1 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) (as EN 14096-1:2003) and

was adopted, under a special “fast-track procedure”, by Technical Committee ISO/TC 135, Non-destructive

testing, Subcommittee SC 5, Radiation methods ISO/TC, in parallel with its approval by the ISO member

bodies.

ISO 14096 consists of the following parts, under the general title Non-destructive testing — Qualification of

Introduction

Radiographic film systems are used for industrial inspection by X- and gamma rays. To apply modern means of

computer support for analysis, transmission and storage the information stored in the radiographic film should be

converted into digital data (digitisation). This European Standard defines minimum requirements to ensure that the

relevant information for evaluation of the digital data is preserved during the film digitisation process.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies procedures for the evaluation of basic performance parameters of the

radiographic film digitisation process such as spatial resolution and spatial linearity, density range, density contrast

sensitivity and characteristic transfer curve. They can be integrated into the system software and together with a

standard reference film (as described in clause 5) used for quality control of the digitisation process. This reference

film provides a series of test targets for performance evaluation. The test targets are suitable for evaluating a

digitisation system with a spatial resolution down to 25 μm, a density contrast sensitivity down to 0,02 optical

density, a density range of 0,5 to 4,5 and a film size capacity of (350 x 430) mm². This standard does not address

signal processing and display of the digitised data.
2 Normative references

This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For

dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European

Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1
radiographic film digitisation system
digitiser
sequential application of the two functions below:

a) detection of the diffuse transmittance of a small unit area of the film (pixel, picture element) by means of an

optical detector, giving an electric output signal (geometrical digitisation);

b) conversion of the above electrical signal into a numerical value (densitometrical digitisation)

3.2
scanning aperture

spatial extension (area) on the radiographic film through which the digitiser performs the scanning of one pixel for

geometrical digitisation
The size of the scanning aperture corresponds:

EN 14096-1:2003 (E)
3.3
pixel size

geometrical centre-to-centre distance between adjacent pixels in a row (horizontal pitch) or column (vertical pitch)

of the scanned image
3.4
optical density

logarithmic value to the base 10 of the diffuse light intensity ratio in front of (I ) and behind (I ) the radiographic film

0 D
according to equation (1):
D  lg (1)
3.5
edge spread function
ESF
resulting profile across a step function after digitisation
NOTE This function can be either as light intensity or optical density.
3.6
digitiser unsharpness

blurring of sharp edges by the scanning aperture, scattered light, flare or electronic bandwidth

It is determined from the geometrical distance of the 10% and 90% point of the Edge Spread Function (ESF) from a

light intensity step function.
3.7
spatial frequency
described by a sinusoidal intensity variation along a geometrical axis

The period of this function is measured in number of line pairs per millimetre (lp/mm).

3.8
spatial frequency maximum value

in theory, this value, in number of line pairs per millimetre, is given by the Nyquist sampling theorem, see equation

(2):
f  1 / (2 * P) (2)

Practically, the scanning aperture, the mechanics and the electronics of the digitiser reduce this theoretical value.

3.9
modulation transfer function
MTF

normalised magnitude of the Fourier-transform (FT) of the differentiated spatial optical density edge spread

function (ESF) (see Figure 1)

It describes the unsharpness function of the digitiser (contrast transmission as a function of the object size).

NOTE This MTF calculation is based on optical densities, which correspond to the X-ray dose.

3.10
density range

range of maximum and minimum optical densities, which can be measured by the digitiser

Depending on the construction of the digitiser, this density range can be split into several working ranges (e.g. by a

different illumination power and/or a different detector integration time).
3.11
characteristic transfer curve
CTC
relationship between the optical density of the film and the digitised data
3.12
digital resolution in bit

number of bits provided by the analogue-to-digital converter of the digitiser used for densitometrical digitisation

NOTE A digital resolution of N bits corresponds to 2 digital values.
3.13
density sampling pitch

optical density variation corresponding to an increase of 1 in the digitised value

NOTE This density variation depends on t
