IEC 62563-1 Ed. 1.2 b:2021

This part of IEC 62563 describes the evaluation methods for testing medical IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS.

The scope of this International Standard 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 standard applies to medical IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS, which can display image on greyscale and colour 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 standard. Handheld IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS might require additional or modified versions of the procedures described in this standard.

It is not in the scope of this standard to define the requirements of acceptance and constancy
tests or the frequencies of constancy tests.
