AMENDMENT 2
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This amendment has been prepared by subcommittee 62B: Diagnostic imaging equipment, of
IEC technical committee 62: Electrical equipment in medical practice.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION to Amendment 2
This amendment is intended to introduce evaluation methods for handheld display devices.
Add, after the existing Annex C, the following new Annex D:
Annex D
(informative)
Evaluation methods for handheld display devices
D.1 General
This annex describes the evaluation methods that apply to handheld display devices. Handheld
display devices are defined as portable (carry-along) image display devices that are typically
small and lightweight including smartphones and tablet and notebook computers not specifically
for medical use. Handheld devices are convenient, easy to access, and can be of use in
emergency situations (including for example natural disasters) and for remote consultation.
Current handheld viewing technologies with limited workspaces are unlikely to replace
dedicated medical IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS in this document better suited for conventional
radiology workflow and standard primary reporting. However, mobile devices are enabling
timely patient management and collaboration in care. Clear procedures to promote improved
practices in the use of handhelds in emergency situations and for remote consultation are
required. The major characteristics of typical handheld device and IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS as
defined in this document are listed in Table D.1.

LUMINANCE stability Uncontrolled Controlled
Ambient illumination Variable and uncontrolled Fixed or controlled
Viewing angle and distance Variable and uncontrolled Fixed or limited
QC software None Available
D.2 TEST PATTERNS for handheld devices
Table D.2 shows the TEST PATTERNS for handheld devices. Handheld devices can differ from
medical IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS in terms of resolution, aspect ratio and screen size. Therefore
simple TEST PATTERNS are required. The proposed TEST PATTERNS are described in Table D.4.

D.3 Evaluation methods for handheld devices
D.3.1 General
To perform visual evaluation described in D.3.4 and quantitative evaluation described in D.3.5
by reference to D.3.2, appropriate TEST PATTERNS that have the same display resolutions of
handheld device under test shall be used. LUMINANCE response should be evaluated prior to
use by performing a visual greyscale test. LUMINANCE uniformity should be evaluated only for
handheld devices with 10 inches (25,4 cm) or larger screen size (diagonal). Prior to use,
CONTRAST should be evaluated using Hh-Ctr, and pixel resolution should be evaluated using
Hh-SpR TEST PATTERN.
D.3.2 Recommended TEST ITEMS
TEST ITEMS recommended are listed in Table D.3.

D.3.3 Conditions of viewing test
Evaluation should be conducted using actual use conditions either in portrait or landscape mode.
Scaling shall not be performed in TEST PATTERNS Hh-SpR, Hh-ANG(64), (204). If such TEST
PATTERNS are scaled up or down, it should be recognized due to the lack of one or more borders,
