BS EN IEC 60806:2022 Determination of the maximum symmetrical radiation field of X-ray tube assemblies and X-ray source assemblies for medical diagnosis
1 Scope
This document is applicable to X- ray source assemblies and X- ray tube assemblies .
NOTE 1 If, for certain medical electrical systems , special radiation fields are required such that the scope of IEC 60806 does not apply (e. g., using CT collimators with bow-tie filters), the appropriate
system particular standard applies.
This document specifies a method for the determination of the greatest geometrically
symmetrical radiation field at a specified distance from the focal spot for which the percentage air kerma rate along the major axes of the radiation field does not fall below a permitted value.
NOTE 2 In practical use air kerma or air kerma rate are the most practical physical measures to quantify X- ray patterns .
In case multiple focal spots are not super-imposed, each focal spot has its own reference axis . Then the maximum radiation field can be given for each focal spot...
