Scope:
The X-Ray (XR) Section is charged with overseeing MITA work related to products within its scope. Tthis
section
integrates its four X-ray groups to support diagnostic imaging: conventional and digital X-ray (CR-DR),
computed
tomography (CT), interventional radiology, and mammography. We provide technical expertise to regulators and
medical professionals, develop accreditation and quality control Standards, and take proactive steps to
improve
patient safety.
The goals of the XR Section include the promotion of safety, interoperability, efficiencies in manufacture,
and
facilitating understanding about the operation and use of X-ray equipment by developing industry Standards
and
technical documentation. The Section interacts with regulatory agencies and coordinates with other MITA
committees when necessary. The XR Section oversees section subgroups and drives coordination of topics that
should be addressed at a section level.
