The purpose of the Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Health and Safety Act is to maximize the protection practicable for the citizens of New Mexico from ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in the practice of medical imaging. This purpose is effectuated by establishing requirements for appropriate education and training of persons operating medical equipment emitting ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, establishing standards of education and training for the persons who administer medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures and providing for the appropriate examination and licensure of those persons.
