Authorized user vs Interpreter

[Dan Marx <dmarx01@baker.edu>]

Most recently, the State of Ohio and confirmed by the NRC,  has determined 
that the interpretation of nuclear medicine scans does not fall under the 
requirements of an "authorized user".  Is this a common interpretation 
amongst the agreement states?  How have the hospitals handled this 
situation?  
This has a significant impact for Cardiologist and Internal Medicine 
physicians who want to interpret there own work, and bill for it, and are 
not the "authorized user" at a given location.
