title: E-Licensing of Radiation Applications (eLORA) in Armed Forces Hospitals: 'Nuts and Bolts'.
abstract: As per current statutory requirement, licence for operation of all medical radiation facilities (diagnostic radiology/radiotherapy/nuclear medicine) in India has to be obtained using the e-Licensing of Radiation Applications (acronym as 'eLORA') platform which is a web-based application on Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) website. This article is envisaged as a procedural guide for all medical administrators and radiologists in service institutions processing eLORA. Specific focus has been placed on practical methods to deal with inherent procedural hurdles unique to armed forces institutions, based on first-hand experience gained in successful eLORA processing at a tertiary care hospital.
