PURSUANT TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.208(1)(k)

 

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) SCANNER SERVICES

 

Final Approval by the CON Commission 6/14/12 and Effective 9/28/12

 

The language changes include the following:

 

1.      Section 2(1)(q):  Added to the existing definition of “PET scanner” to include: FDA-Approved PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner hybrids.  If the FDA-Approved PET/MRI scanner hybrid will be used for MRI scans only in conjunction with the PET scan, then no separate CON is required for that MRI use.

2.      Section 3(4)(d):  Added language to exempt a host site that is initiating FDA-approved PET/MRI scanner hybrid service(s) from having to cease operation as a host site so that it can continue to conduct PET only scans.

3.      Other technical changes.
