ISO 4090 pdf download.Photography — Medical radiographic cassettes/screens/films and hard-copy imaging films — Dimensions and specifications
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the nominal sizes, aim dimensions with tolerances, weights, and certain tests for medical radiographic cassettes, screens, and films. It includes medical hard-copy imaging films in the form of sheets, such as laser films and video. This International Standard also includes information regarding the appropriate marking of these products, and special attention is given to cassettes/screens/films used for mammography. This International Standard does not include films in roll format (see informative annex A).
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ISO 554:1 976, Standardatmospheres forconditioning and/ortesting — Specifications. IEC 61 267:1 994, Medical diagnostic X-ray equipment — Radiation conditions for use in the determination of characteristics.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 preferred mammography sizes current industry standard, reflecting modern industry trends NOTE Aim and tolerance dimensions are different for preferred sizes versus recognized sizes. 3.2 recognized mammography sizes former industry standard, listed because this older format is expected to be used in clinical applications worldwide for some time to come
4 Conditions for measurement of dimensions
The dimensions and tolerances specified in this International Standard shall apply at the time of manufacture (except where specifically stated otherwise), when measured under atmospheric conditions of (23 + 2) °C and (50 + 5) % relative humidity, as specified in ISO 554. All measuring instrument calibrations should be conducted at a temperature of 20 °C, as specified in ISO 1 :1 975, Standardreference temperature forindustriallength measurements, and a relative humidity of 50 %.
5 Radiographic cassettes
5.1 Dimensions 5.1.1 Nominal sizes, aim and tolerance dimensions Nominal sizes, aim and tolerance dimensions and weight for preferred radiographic cassette sizes shall conform to the values given in Tables 1 and 2. Nominal sizes, aim and tolerance dimensions and weight for recognized radiographic cassette sizes shall conform to the values given in Tables 3 and 4. The materials and design of the cassette shall ensure that, under normal conditions of use, the shape and dimensions comply with the limits for the outer dimensions (OD) and inner dimensions (ID) given in Tables 1 , 2, 3 and 4, over a relative humidity range from 30 % to 85 % and a temperature range from 1 0 °C to 40 °C. 5.1.2 Denomination Radiographic cassettes are denoted by the nominal size expressed in numerical values (in centimetres) without adding the measurement unit “cm”. EXAMPLE Cassette 1 8 ? 24 (eighteen by twenty-four) denotes a radiographic cassette for a film with nominal size 1 8 cm + 24 cm.
5.1.3 Outer dimensions (OD) The outer dimensions, in the plane of the film, shall be 27,5 mm ? 1 mm more than the nominal size of the cassette. Cassettes of nominal sizes that have both dimensions not exceeding 43,2 cm shall have an aim thickness of 1 5 mm, minimum thickness of 1 3 mm, and maximum thickness of 1 6 mm. Cassettes of nominal sizes that have one or both dimensions greater than 43,2 cm shall have an aim thickness of 1 6,5 mm, minimum thickness of 1 3 mm, and maximum thickness of 1 7,5 mm. The specified thickness of a cassette is intended to ensure that the cassette can be properly fixed in a defined position under a load (e.g. within a holder or rails). In no case shall the maximum thickness tolerance, as given in Tables 1 , 2, 3 and 4, be exceeded in any part of the cassette. The corners and edges of the cassette, as shown in the top view of Figure 1 , shall be smoothed or shaped over a quarter circle to a radius (r 1 ) of 1 0 mm maximum and 1 mm minimum. The other edges, as shown in the side view of Figure 1 , shall be smoothed over a quarter circle to a radius (r 2 ) of at least 1 ,5 mm. The greatest value for the radius results from the minimum required planes as given by the dimensions A and B in the side view of Figure 1 . All parts of the cassette, such as hinges, locks and marking devices, shall be within the tolerances given in Tables 1 , 2, 3 and 4 and shall be within the limits for corners and edges.
