Non-destructive testing - Radiation methods for computed tomography - Part 4: Qualification (ISO 15708-4:2025)

This document gives guidance on the qualification of the performance of a computed tomography (CT) system with respect to various testing tasks.
This document is applicable only to industrial imaging (i.e. non-medical applications) and provides a consistent set of definitions of CT performance parameters, including the relationship between these performance parameters and CT system specifications.
This document is applicable to industrial computed tomography.
This document does not apply to other techniques of tomography such as translational tomography and tomosynthesis.

Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Durchstrahlungsverfahren für Computertomographie - Teil 4: Qualifizierung (ISO 15708-4:2025)

Dieses Dokument enthält Leitlinien für die Qualifizierung des Leistungsverhaltens eines Computertomographie (CT )Systems unter Beachtung verschiedener Prüfaufgaben.
Dieses Dokument ist nur anwendbar für die industrielle Bildgebung (d. h. nicht-medizinische Anwendungen) und stellt einen einheitlichen Satz von Festlegungen für CT-Leistungsparameter zur Verfügung, einschließlich des Zusammenhangs zwischen diesen Leistungsparametern und den Spezifikationen des CT-Systems.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für die industrielle Computertomographie.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für weitere Tomographieverfahren wie etwa Translationstomographie und Tomosynthese.

Essais non destructifs - Méthodes par rayonnements pour la tomographie informatisée - Partie 4: Qualification (ISO 15708-4:2025)

Le présent document donne des recommandations sur la qualification de la performance d’un système de tomographie informatisée (TI) par rapport à différentes tâches d’essai.
Il est uniquement applicable à l’imagerie industrielle (c'est-à-dire aux applications non médicales) et fournit un ensemble cohérent de définitions des paramètres de performance de la TI, y compris la relation entre ces paramètres de performance et les spécifications du système TI.
Le présent document est applicable à la tomographie informatisée industrielle.
Il ne s’applique pas aux autres techniques de tomographie telles que la tomographie par translation et la tomosynthèse.
