CT Safety Investigation
Thursday, October 8, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an
initial notification on a safety investigation of CT brain perfusion scans.
FDA has become aware of radiation overexposure during perfusion CT imaging to
aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a stroke.

Drinking Water Treatment
Residuals Containing Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring
Radioactive Materials
Over the past several years, working with
stakeholder groups and across programmatic lines, the state health
department has sought to integrate and standardize regulatory
requirements for naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)
and technically enhanced radioactive material (TENORM).
Added incentive came with EPA's changes to the limitation of
uranium in drinking water, which expanded the universe of water
treatment facilities that could generate TENORM in the drinking
water purification process. As a result of this work, the
Department has developed draft guidance for drinking water
treatment residuals containing TENORM. This guidance
provides a matrix for determining the disposal options for NORM
and TENORM material.
