X-ray and mammography licensure, registration and inspection is overseen by the Idaho Radiation Control Program.
About the Idaho Radiation Control Program
X-ray facilities (e.g. medical, dental, veterinarian, chiropractic, academic, and industrial) are inspected based on Idaho Radiation Control Regulations. The purpose of these regulations is to reduce radiation exposure to Idahoans. Frequently Asked Questions for X-ray Licensure.
Mammography facilities are inspected under an agreement with the FDA to perform federal inspections of Idaho mammography sites. These facilities are regulated by the Federal Mammography Quality Standards Act. The inspections are performed annually and are performed to determine machine accuracy and qualifications of technologists performing exams and radiologists reading mammographic images.
