DIN EN 62563-1:2024-09

This document 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. This document 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. 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 document. Handheld image reproduction systems may require additional or modified versions of the procedures described in this document. The definition of requirements for acceptance and constancy tests or deadlines for constancy tests are not within the scope of this document. This document contains Amendments A1 and A2. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 080-00-06 AA "Bildgebende Systeme" ("Image acquisition systems") at DIN Standards Committee Radiology (NAR).
