§ 175.50 Podiatric Radiography.
RCNY § 175.50
(a)Equipment. Collimating devices capable of restricting the useful beam to the area of clinical interest must be used. The x-ray films or image receptor used as the recording medium during the x-ray examination must show substantial evidence of cut-off (beam delineation). A device must be provided which terminates the exposure after a preset time interval or exposure. The exposure switch must be of the dead-man type and where protective barriers are required must be so arranged that it cannot be operated outside the shielded area.
(b)Each installation must be arranged so that the operator can stand at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) from the patient, the x-ray tube and the useful beam during exposure. A protective barrier must be provided when the operator cannot stand at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from the patient, the x-ray tube and the useful beam during exposures.
(c)No person shall hold film during the exposure. Only persons required for the radiographic procedure must be in the radiographic room during exposure. (Added City Record 4/24/2019, eff. 5/24/2019)
