ASTM E 1672 - 95. Standard Guide for Computed Tomography (CT) System Selection

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 1995, 10 pages.
This guide covers guidelines for translating application requirements into computed tomography (CT) system requirements/specifications and establishes a common terminology to guide both purchaser and supplier in the CT system selection process. This guide is applicable to the purchaser of both CT systems and scan services. Computed tomography systems are complex instruments, consisting of many components that must correctly interact in order to yield images that
repeatedly reproduce satisfactory test results. Computed tomography system purchasers are generally concerned with application requirements. Computed tomography system suppliers
are generally concerned with the system component selection to meet the purchaser’s performance requirements. This guide is not intended to be limiting or restrictive, but
rather to address the relationships between application requirements and performance specifications that must be understood and considered for proper CT system selection.
