Although this does suggest that device manufacturers provide better information concerning radiation exposure levels, the concern here seems to be more about practices within the healthcare community. Medical practitioners and patients will need to increase their awareness of the dangers associated with requesting too many X-rays and practitioners will be expected to develop systems to minimize the use of X-Rays, identify better standards, and track X-Ray dosage. The role required for manufacturers like IMGG will be minimal.

In this case, it is the practitioners and not the devices that are being challenged - and although the fact that the DVIS uses lower dosage levels is important, it is not especially relevant to this particular initiative.
