title: Performance specifications for diagnostic x-ray equipment.
abstract: The specification of performance characteristics for diagnostic x-ray equipment involves an interplay between purchaser and supplier which often results in inadequate understanding of imaging requirements by the supplier, and unfulfilled expectations by the purchaser. A statement of performance specifications has been prepared and accompanies requests for bids distributed to suppliers. The statement is described in its general form; modifications bay be needed to adapt it to a specific radiographic system.
