Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) is a lobby for equipment manufacturers of medical imaging machinery.[1]
MITA is also the source of the DICOM[2] standard and the XR series[3] of medical imaging and radiation dose standards:
