For diagnostic radiology, users of medical diagnostic X-ray equipment need the applicable AERB licence or registration before operation.<\/span><\/p>\nCommon users include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Hospitals with diagnostic imaging departments<\/span><\/li>\n
- Diagnostic centres<\/span><\/li>\n

- Facilities using mammography equipment<\/span><\/li>\n
- Centres using C-arm or interventional X-ray systems<\/span><\/li>\n
- Other institutions using regulated diagnostic X-ray equipment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Manufacturers, suppliers, and service agencies have separate AERB requirements. Type approval and supplier-related permissions are different from an end-user operating licence.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Types of Medical Equipment Covered Under AERB Regulations<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nAERB regulations cover several radiation-generating devices used in medical diagnosis and treatment. The exact consent depends on the equipment and the activity.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n| \n Equipment<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n AERB Requirement Area<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n | | | | | | | | | |
