(June 10, 2005), are adopted by reference. Copies of these regulations are
available for no cost from either of the following sources:
(a) The website of the Michigan department of
licensing and regulatory affairs, radiation safety section at
http://www.michigan.gov/rss.

(2) As used in this part the
following definitions apply:
(a) "Computed
tomography (CT)" means the production of a tomogram by the acquisition and
computer processing of x-ray transmission data. Computed tomography includes
the capability of producing axial tomograms.
(b) "CT medical event" means an unintended
event where a physician determines that actual damage has occurred to an organ
or a physiological system of an individual due to or suspected to be due to
exposure to diagnostic radiation from a CT scanner.
(c) "CT scanner" means a CT machine capable
of performing CT scans of the head, other body parts, or full body patient
procedures including PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanner hybrids if used for CT only
procedures.
(d) "Medical physicist"
means an individual trained in evaluating the performance of CT scanners,
related equipment, and facility quality assurance programs and who meets the
requirements in R 333.5707.
(e)
"Positron emission tomography (PET)" means an imaging technique that uses
positron-emitting radionuclides to produce 3-dimensional images of functional
processes in the body.
(f)
"Radiologic technologist" means an individual specifically trained in the use
of radiographic equipment and the positioning of patients for radiographic
examinations and who meets the requirements in R 333.5705.
(g) "Single photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT)" means an imaging technique that uses radionuclides to
produce 3-dimentional images of functional processes in the body.
(h) "Tomogram" means the depiction of the
attenuation properties of a section through a body.
