MM – Mammography – Mammography facilities are issued separate registrations which include only mammographic x-ray machines.
D – Dental – All dentists who have intraoral, cephalometric and panographic x-ray equipment are registered under this discipline.
P – Podiatry – Podiatric practices with x-ray units have this designation.
E – Education – This discipline includes the major universities and other training institutions.
I – Industrial – This discipline includes major manufacturing facilities who utilize x-ray in their production process.
V – Veterinary – This discipline includes the various uses by veterinarians of x-rays on birds and animals and at the zoos.
