scope:
Describes a method for the determination of the greatest geometrically symmetrical radiation field at a specified distance from the focal spot for which the percentage air kerma rate along the major axes does not fall below a permitted value. Applicable to assemblies for techniques in which the X-ray pattern will be received simultaneously in all pointsof the image reception area. Excluded are special applications when, for example, steeper variations of the air kerma rate or particular distributions are intended. Appendix A contains an index of terms.
