This document establishes standard test methods and test objects for measuring the imaging performance of x-ray computed tomography (CT) security-screening systems. The quality of data for automated analysis is the primary concern. This document does not address the system's ability to use this image data to automatically detect explosives or other threat materials, nor is it intended for vendor-to-vendor comparisons of threat-detection performance. This standard does not purport to address… read more radiation safety and health practices associated with CT security-screening systems; users are advised to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Four annexes are included. Annex A is a bibliography (informative). Annex B (normative) provides mechanical drawings of the imaging test objects that compose the test article. A sample test report form is given in Annex C (informative). Finally, Annex D (informative) offers statistical guidance on multiple scans, summary statistics, and comparison of results. read less
