Indiana regulatory expertise
We work fluently with the requirements of the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), Division of Radiology, Weights, and Measures. Indiana is not an NRC Agreement State; radioactive materials used in nuclear medicine and PET/CT are licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Region III). Indiana submitted a letter of intent to pursue Agreement State status on June 11, 2021. The Indiana Department of Health registers radiation machines, and diagnostic X-ray requirements are in 410 IAC 5-6.1, which requires most diagnostic X-ray systems to be evaluated at least once every twelve months.
