Medical Physics Standards
TECHNICAL STANDARDS describe technical parameters that are quantitative or measurable. They often include specific recommendations for patient management or equipment specifications or settings. Technical Standards are based on analysis of current literature, expert opinion, open forum commentary, and informal consensus. Technical Standards are intended to set a minimum level of acceptable technical parameters and equipment performance and may be modified as determined by individual circumstances and available resources.
