X-Ray Regulation in S.C.

DHEC’s Division of Electronic Products regulates the use of X-rays, which are sources of electronically produced radiation.

There are about 3,600 facilities using about 10,000 X-ray machines statewide, and we register, inspect and enforce state and federal regulations for all of them.
