Overview
EN 60806:2004 (identical to IEC 60806:1984) defines how to determine the maximum symmetrical radiation field produced by a rotating anode X‑ray tube used in medical diagnostic radiology. The standard applies to X‑ray tube assemblies containing rotating anode tubes for imaging techniques where the X‑ray pattern is received simultaneously across the entire image reception area. EN 60806:2004 is intended to ensure consistent, repeatable measurement of the usable, symmetrical portion of the radiation field for safety, performance verification and comparative evaluation.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Covers rotating anode X‑ray tube assemblies used in diagnostic radiology where a uniform image reception area is required.
- Measurement objective: Establishes the determination of the maximum symmetrical radiation field that can be produced by the tube assembly.
- Test principles: Describes required measurement approach and conditions to identify the symmetrical usable field for imaging.
- Test environment and instrumentation: Specifies the need for appropriate, calibrated detectors and controlled geometry to obtain reproducible results.
- Reporting and interpretation: Indicates how to document measured field dimensions and any limiting factors affecting symmetry and extent of the radiation field.
- Conformance and comparison: Provides a common basis for comparing tube assemblies and verifying that radiation fields meet clinical and safety expectations.
(Note: EN 60806:2004 is the European adoption of IEC 60806:1984 and supersedes earlier HD 513 S1:1989.)
Applications
EN 60806:2004 is practical and relevant for:
- Medical physicists performing acceptance testing, commissioning and periodic quality assurance of X‑ray systems.
- Manufacturers of rotating anode X‑ray tubes and tube assemblies validating product performance and producing technical data.
- Test laboratories and calibration facilities conducting standardized field measurements.
- Regulatory bodies and hospital engineering teams establishing compliance with performance and safety requirements.
- Clinical engineers assessing image-field uniformity for radiographic and fluoroscopic installations.
Using the standard helps ensure consistent measurement of the effective radiation field, supporting safer imaging setups, reproducible diagnostics, and reliable product comparisons.
