5. Encourage, participate in and conduct studies, investigations, training,research and demonstrations relating to control of sources of radiation.
6. Establish fee schedules for the licensure of radioactive materials.
7. Establish guidelines to require the licensed facilities or physicians'offices where mammography services are performed to offer to the patient,prior to departure, development of such films to ensure integrity and qualityof the film. When film developing is not available or the patient chooses notto wait, the patient shall be notified within two business days if anothermammogram is necessary. This requirement does not imply or require that adiagnostic opinion be made at the time of the mammogram. The interpretingphysician may require that the mammogram be retaken if, in the opinion of thephysician, the study is of inadequate quality.
