New York regulatory expertise
We work fluently with the requirements of the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection, which registers X-ray equipment and licenses radioactive materials under 10 NYCRR Part 16, and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), Office of Radiological Health, which separately registers radiation equipment and licenses radioactive materials within the five boroughs under Article 175 of the NYC Health Code. New York has been an NRC Agreement State since October 15, 1962, so medical radioactive materials users are licensed by NYSDOH or NYC DOHMH rather than the NRC.

New York regulatory citations
"Each registrant shall ensure that the calibration of the radiation output of each CT x-ray system that it operates is performed by, or under the direction of, a licensed medical physicist."
"After initial installation, the CT x-ray system shall be calibrated prior to its use on human beings and recalibrated at least within every 14 months thereafter."
"Acceptance testing and the radiation safety survey shall be completed and documented before first human use."
"The acceptance testing must be conducted by a QMP and the report must be provided to the registrant. All non-compliance issues noted in this report must be corrected prior to clinical use of the unit."
