-Developing minimum standards for training and education for hospital and imaging facility personnel and checklists to reduce medical
errors.

-Expanding and standardizing the reporting of medical errors associated with medical radiation across stakeholders in a manner that is transparent for patients, families and physicians.

-Working with stakeholders to develop radiation dose reference values to provide a data point to compare the dose level of a specific procedure.

"MITA remains concerned that new clinical data requirements in the clearance process or other new burdens will delay these essential dose reduction innovations' entry into the market," Fisher said.

"MITA looks forward to working with the FDA and all stakeholders involved in the delivery of health care to ensure that we continue to develop innovative technologies that reduce radiation dose and safeguard against human error, while ensuring that patients have access to the life-saving technologies that are critical to providing high quality health care," Fisher said.

The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA), a division of the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), is the collective voice of medical imaging equipment manufacturers, innovators, and product developers. For more information visit www.medicalimaging.org
