They want something out there - but from the on site inservice I have seen for CR/ DR...they push the equipment without even knowing the principles of exposure...how can a company do that-it seems that NCDRH should take a closer look at the newer technologies and how they are being presented to the professional community. WE have to operate them and WE have to monitor patient exposure. It is not right when the application specialist tells the staff, "just go up 3-4 times the mas you are using now"...to solve S# problems rather than have them recalibrate the system to meet the current techniques.
