Forum,

I am an engineering student from Melbourne Australia and I have a simple question related to a literature research project I'm currently undertaking, hopefully someone can help me out.

Which engineering or safety standards would a design for a CT or fluoroscopy system, more specifically the physical structure and mechanisms of the systems, have to meet?

Thanks

yodnnee, Welcome to Physics Forums!

Here we have a saying: "Google is your friend." We mean by that many questions (like yours) may be answered using the Google Search engine.

Using the search terms "CT or fluoroscopy system safety standards" I saw many standards, both engineering and safety. Try it.
