Standard Test Methods for Determining Radiopacity for Medical Use

Importancia y uso:

5.1 These methods are intended to determine whether a material, product, or part of a product has the degree of radiopacity desired for its application as a medical device in the human body. This method allows for comparison with or without the use of a body mimic. Comparisons without the use of a body mimic should be used with caution as the relative radiopacity can be affected when imaging through the human body.

5.2 These methods allow for both qualitative and quantitative evaluation in different comparative situations.
