The purpose of clinical audits is to ensure that medical exposures are justified and optimised in accordance with the current state of science and technology, and that the quality and outcome of patient care are continuously improved.

The FOPH may require the licence holder to undergo a clinical audit for the following medical radiation applications every five years:
