MITA member manufacturers are grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Pediatric Digital Radiography Summit. We support the following initiatives proposed by the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Radiology:
-
Implementation of the IEC 62494-1 standard for new digital radiography systems.
-
Dose index registry for digital radiography.
-
Standardized exam naming conventions for digital radiography.
-
Monitoring radiation exposure using a new IHE profile.
We look forward to working with the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Radiology as these items are developed and implemented.
