IEC 60627 Ed. 2.0 b:2001, Diagnostic X-ray imaging equipment - Characteristics of general purpose and mammographic anti-scatter grids

Deals with the definitions, determination and indication of characteristics of anti-scatter grids used in diagnostic X-ray imaging equipment, in order 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. Only linear grids are considered in this standard. This standard is intended to be applied for the demonstration of the characteristics of anti-scatter grids under test conditions.
