Medical electrical equipment - Medical image display systems - Part 1: Evaluation methods

IEC 62563-1:2009 describes the evaluation methods for testing medical image display systems. It 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. IEC 62563-1:2009 applies to medical image display systems, which can display monochrome image information in the form of greyscale values on colour and greyscale image display systems (e.g. cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, flat panel displays, projection system). 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.

Overview

EN 62563-1:2010/A1:2016 (IEC 62563-1:2009/A1:2016) specifies practical evaluation methods for medical image display systems. It targets tests that can be visually evaluated or measured with basic test equipment and is intended for displays used in diagnostic and medical viewing applications. The 2016 amendment (A1) introduces colour measurement and refinements for chromaticity and luminance evaluations.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope
    • Applies to medical image display systems capable of showing greyscale and colour image information (CRT, flat-panel, projection).
    • Excludes head-mounted displays and displays used only for system operation/positioning.
  • Evaluation focus
    • Practical tests suitable for visual inspection or simple instrumentation rather than advanced laboratory measurements.
    • Acceptance and constancy (QA) test methods for image quality.
  • Chromaticity and colour
    • Amendment A1 adds colour measurement methods and greyscale chromaticity evaluation.
    • Uses TG18-LN test patterns and a colour meter to measure luminance and colour coordinates (u', v').
    • Measurements with luminance < 5 cd/m² are discarded; greyscale chromaticity is quantified as the maximum Δu'v' relative to full white.
    • Formula shown for computing Δu'v' from u', v' coordinates.
  • Luminance and uniformity
    • Luminance evaluation across multiple displays and chromaticity uniformity assessments are included.
    • Definitions and symbols (e.g., alternative safety factor L_a/L_amb_min) align the standard with other imaging documents.
  • Reporting
    • Annexes include sample test report formats (acceptance and constancy) and example results (e.g., max deviation values).

Practical applications and users

  • Who uses this standard:
    • Medical physicists, clinical engineers, radiology QA staff, and manufacturers of medical displays.
    • Regulatory and accreditation teams performing acceptance testing and routine constancy checks.
  • Typical use cases:
    • Acceptance testing of newly installed diagnostic displays.
    • Periodic constancy checks to ensure displays remain calibrated to the GSDF (Grayscale Standard Display Function).
    • Cross-display verification in multi-monitor reading workstations to ensure consistent luminance and chromaticity.
  • Benefits:
    • Provides reproducible, equipment-light procedures for maintaining image quality important to clinical diagnosis.
    • Supports compliance with IEC/CENELEC requirements for medical imaging devices.

Related standards

  • IEC 62563-1 (base publication)
  • GSDF and TG18 pattern references used for calibration and test pattern selection
  • Other IEC/CENELEC documents on medical electrical equipment and imaging QA
