This technical report applies to darkrooms in X-ray facilities where any of the following unprocessed radiographic or photographic materials sensitive to light are handled:
- all types of SCREEN FILM;
- NON-SCREEN FILM;
- photographic film for INDIRECT RADIOGRAPHY, as used for recording:
· OUTPUT IMAGES of X-RAY IMAGE INTENSIFIERS;
· Other RADIOLOGICAL IMAGES after TRANSFER;
- photographic material for copying RADIOGRAMS;
- photographic material for making permanent images of information recorded by electronic means, and presented on display tubes; for example: using hard copy cameras, or printed by other electronic means, for example: laser; or used in diagnostic equipment, such as for general RECONSTRUCTIVE TOMOGRAPHY; digital imaging; ultra-sound; magnetic resonance techniques; in NUCLEAR MEDICINE.
This technical report is a part of a series of Particular Publications (standards and technical reports) which will describe test methods for the constancy of properties of various subsystems of diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT, as described in IEC 1223-1.
