PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee
HT/23 on Medical Diagnostic Imaging Equipment, as a Joint Standard.
This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 1223-2-4:1994, Evaluation and
routine testing in medical imaging departments, Part 2-4: Constancy tests—Hard copy cameras.
Under arrangements made between Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand and the IEC, as well
as certain other Standards Organizations, users of this Standard are advised that the number of this
Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover.
For the purpose of this Standard, the IEC text should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology The words ‘this Australian/New Zealand standard’ should replace the words ‘this
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
(b) Decimal marker Substitute a full point for a comma where it appears as a decimal marker.

1.1 Scope
This part of IEC 1223 applies to HARD COPY CAMERAS producing images on monochrome
continuous tone material (such as photographic films and materials sensitive to infrared

radiation), and comprising types of cameras using a cathode ray tube, laser beam, or a
thermoprinting system, as used in diagnostic imaging systems such as:
– digital radiography;
– ultrasound imaging;
This standard does not apply to x-y (analogue) recording systems used in NUCLEAR MEDICINE.
*1.2 Object
This part of IEC 1123 describes a method to check, in terms of functional parameters, the
constancy of the quality of images produced by HARD COPY CAMERAS in order to ensure that
the required conditions for producing consistent hard copies are maintained after the
calibration and adjustment have been carried out.
– to establish a reference level of performance for the HARD COPY CAMERA when such
equipment has been accepted;
– to detect and verify any significant variation in functional parameters which may then
require corrective actions.
