    • not less than 38 cm on stationary fluoroscopes and to
    • not less than 30 cm on mobile and portable fluoroscopes.
    • In addition, for fluoroscopes intended for specific surgical application that would be prohibited at the source-skin distances specified in this paragraph, provisions may be made for operation at shorter source-skin distances but in no case less than 20 cm.
