Abstract
Diagnostic imaging systems play a critical role in obtaining anatomical images, which increases the frequency of inspection all over the world. However the likelihood that patients are exposed to relatively high radiation dose increases, which may lead to an increase of patient dose due to unnecessary radiation exposure unless appropriate management is accompanied. Thus the revised edition of IEC 60601-2-44 which is constancy tests for CT equipment which is designated as special medical equipment and is subject to safety management was studied. The results suggested the 3rd has been revised rationally in order to overcome the limitations in the 2nd by adopting clear and enhanced references, which implies the replacement of IEC 60601-2-44 2nd edition with IEC 60601-2-44 3rd will prevent the patients from the harm from improper medical equipment.
