sec.23Marking of images from diagnostic or therapeutic procedure— Act , s 28

### sec.23 Marking of images from diagnostic or therapeutic procedure— Act , s 28 This section applies in relation to a radiation practice if— the radiation practice involves the use of a radiation source to carry out a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure involving the irradiation of a person as the treated person; and the carrying out of the procedure results in the production of 1 or more of the following images (each a medical image )— a nuclear medicine image; a radiograph; an X-ray image. For section 28 (6) of the Act , definition radiation safety and protection measures , the measure prescribed is that the relevant information be permanently marked on each medical image produced during the diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. The measure prescribed under subsection (2) includes the details of the way the marking is to be made. In this section— nuclear medicine image means an image produced as a result of the detection of the radiation emitted by a radionuclide in a person, after the person has been administered a radiopharmaceutical. permanently marked means— for a medical image that is a digital image—included as part of the metadata for the image; or for another medical image—marked in a way that leaves a permanent record on the image. relevant information means— for a medical image that is a radiograph with a surface area of less than 45cm 2 —a marking that identifies, or helps in the identification of, the treated person; or for a medical image other than a medical image mentioned in paragraph (a) — the name, or identifying mark, of the use licensee; and the name, or identifying mark, of the possession licensee; and the address, or identifying mark, of the premises at which the image was produced; and the name, gender and date of birth of the treated person; and the date the image was produced; and if the medical image is a nuclear medicine image—details of any radiopharmaceutical administered to the treated person for the production of the image; and enough information to enable the correct interpretation of the image. (sec.23-ssec.1) This section applies in relation to a radiation practice if— the radiation practice involves the use of a radiation source to carry out a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure involving the irradiation of a person as the treated person; and the carrying out of the procedure results in the production of 1 or more of the following images (each a medical image )— a nuclear medicine image; a radiograph; an X-ray image.

(sec.23-ssec.3) The measure prescribed under subsection (2) includes the details of the way the marking is to be made. (sec.23-ssec.4) In this section— nuclear medicine image means an image produced as a result of the detection of the radiation emitted by a radionuclide in a person, after the person has been administered a radiopharmaceutical. permanently marked means— for a medical image that is a digital image—included as part of the metadata for the image; or for another medical image—marked in a way that leaves a permanent record on the image. relevant information means— for a medical image that is a radiograph with a surface area of less than 45cm 2 —a marking that identifies, or helps in the identification of, the treated person; or for a medical image other than a medical image mentioned in paragraph (a) — the name, or identifying mark, of the use licensee; and the name, or identifying mark, of the possession licensee; and the address, or identifying mark, of the premises at which the image was produced; and the name, gender and date of birth of the treated person; and the date the image was produced; and if the medical image is a nuclear medicine image—details of any radiopharmaceutical administered to the treated person for the production of the image; and enough information to enable the correct interpretation of the image. - (a) the radiation practice involves the use of a radiation source to carry out a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure involving the irradiation of a person as the treated person; and - (b) the carrying out of the procedure results in the production of 1 or more of the following images (each a medical image )— (i) a nuclear medicine image; (ii) a radiograph; (iii) an X-ray image. - (i) a nuclear medicine image; - (ii) a radiograph; - (iii) an X-ray image. - (i) a nuclear medicine image; - (ii) a radiograph; - (iii) an X-ray image. - (a) for a medical image that is a digital image—included as part of the metadata for the image; or - (b) for another medical image—marked in a way that leaves a permanent record on the image. - (a) for a medical image that is a radiograph with a surface area of less than 45cm 2 —a marking that identifies, or helps in the identification of, the treated person; or - (b) for a medical image other than a medical image mentioned in paragraph (a) — (i) the name, or identifying mark, of the use licensee; and (ii) the name, or identifying mark, of the possession licensee; and (iii) the address, or identifying mark, of the premises at which the image was produced; and (iv) the name, gender and date of birth of the treated person; and (v) the date the image was produced; and (vi) if the medical image is a nuclear medicine image—details of any radiopharmaceutical administered to the treated person for the production of the image; and (vii) enough information to enable the correct interpretation of the image. - (i) the name, or identifying mark, of the use licensee; and - (ii) the name, or identifying mark, of the possession licensee; and - (iii) the address, or identifying mark, of the premises at which the image was produced; and - (iv) the name, gender and date of birth of the treated person; and - (v) the date the image was produced; and - (vi) if the medical image is a nuclear medicine image—details of any radiopharmaceutical administered to the treated person for the production of the image; and - (vii) enough information to enable the correct interpretation of the image. - (i) the name, or identifying mark, of the use licensee; and - (ii) the name, or identifying mark, of the possession licensee; and - (iii) the address, or identifying mark, of the premises at which the image was produced; and - (iv) the name, gender and date of birth of the treated person; and - (v) the date the image was produced; and - (vi) if the medical image is a nuclear medicine image—details of any radiopharmaceutical administered to the treated person for the production of the image; and - (vii) enough information to enable the correct interpretation of the image.
