IEC 62563-1:2009

Medical electrical equipment - Medical image display systems - Part 1: Evaluation methods

IEC 62563-1:2009 describes the evaluation methods for testing medical image display systems. It is directed to practical tests that can be visually evaluated or measured using basic test equipment. More advanced or more quantitative measurements can be performed on these devices, but these are beyond the scope of this document. IEC 62563-1:2009 applies to medical image display systems, which can display monochrome image information in the form of greyscale values on colour and greyscale image display systems (e.g. cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, flat panel displays, projection system). This standard applies to medical image display systems used for diagnostic (interpretation of medical images toward rendering clinical diagnosis) or viewing (viewing medical images for medical purposes other than for providing a medical interpretation) purposes and therefore having specific requirements in terms of image quality. Head mounted image display systems and image display systems used for confirming positioning and for operation of the system are not covered by this standard.

Appareils électromédicaux - Systèmes d'imagerie médicale - Partie 1: Méthodes d'évaluation

La CEI 62563-1:2009 décrit les méthodes d'évaluation utilisées pour les essais des systèmes d'imagerie médicale. Elle est destinée aux essais pratiques pouvant faire l'objet d'une évaluation ou d'une mesure visuelle en utilisant un appareillage d'essai de base. Des mesures plus approfondies ou plus quantitatives peuvent être effectuées sur ces dispositifs, ces mesures ne relevant toutefois pas du domaine d'application du présent document. La CEI 62563-1:2009 s'applique aux systèmes d'imagerie médicale qui peuvent afficher des informations sous forme d'images monochromes selon des valeurs d'échelle des gris sur des systèmes d'imagerie couleur et à échelle des gris (par exemple moniteurs a tubes cathodiques, écrans plats, système de projection). La présente norme s'applique aux systèmes d'imagerie médicale utilisés à des fins de diagnostic (interprétation des images médicales en vue d'un diagnostic clinique) ou d'observation (visualisation d'images médicales dans le cadre d'interventions autres que celles destinées à une interprétation médicale), auxquels sont par conséquent associées des exigences spécifiques en termes de qualité de l'image. Les systèmes d'imagerie de tête et les systèmes d'imagerie utilisés pour confirmer le positionnement et pour l'exploitation du système ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
