Why Choose DRPS for Nevada Medical Physics Services?
Statewide Coverage
DRPS provides medical physics services throughout Nevada, including:
- Las Vegas: Comprehensive support for imaging facilities in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and Clark County
- Reno: Expert medical physics services for Northern Nevada
- Statewide: Services available to facilities throughout Nevada
Nevada Regulatory Expertise
Our team works fluently with the requirements of the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH), Radiation Control Program, whose Radiation Producing Machines Program registers X-ray equipment and whose Radioactive Material Program licenses radioactive materials under NAC Chapter 459. Nevada has been an NRC Agreement State since 1972, so nuclear medicine and PET/CT facilities are licensed by DPBH rather than the NRC (which retains authority mainly over federal facilities).
Comprehensive Service Portfolio
DRPS offers a complete range of medical physics services including:
- Equipment Performance Evaluations (EPEs)
- Radiation shielding design and certification
- Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) services
- Radioactive materials license support
- Accreditation support (ACR, IAC, Joint Commission)
- Quality assurance programs
- Staff training and education

Nevada Regulatory Citations
Key requirements, quoted from Nevada regulations:
"each person who controls an unregistered, operational radiation machine, regardless of whether the radiation machine is in actual service as intended, shall apply to the Division for registration of the machine within 30 days after installing the machine."
"Qualified expert means a person who has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that he or she possesses the knowledge and training to measure ionizing radiation, to evaluate safety techniques and to advise regarding radiation protection needs."
