scope:
Specifies the checking of focal spot dimensions above 0,5 mm of X-ray systems up to and including 500 kV tube voltage, by means of radiographs of sharp edges. The image quality and the resolution of X-ray images depend highly on the characteristics of the focal spot. The imaging qualities of a focal spot are based ont he two dimensional intensity distribution in the object plane. The edge method is especially useful for the checking of focal spots under field conditions in order to find changes of the focal spot. It cannot be used for an absolute measurement of the focal spot.
