AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "new technology" in the existing Massachusetts law. The revised definition includes equipment such as magnetic resonance imagers and linear accelerators, as well as services determined by the Department of Public Health to be new technology, based on factors like quality, access, or cost. However, computerized tomography and any equipment widely used as standard diagnostic or therapeutic technology are explicitly excluded from the definition of "new technology."
