Defines the performance and some related constructional requirements of diagnostic dosimeters, as specified in 3.1, for measuring or air kerma, air kerma length or air kerma rate in photon radiation fields in radiography. Includes mammography, radioscopy and computed tomography (CT) for X-rays having generating potentials not in excess of 150 kV. Applies to the performance of dosimeters with ionization chambers and/or semi-conductor detectors as in X-ray diagnostic imaging.
