Connecticut's limited X-ray rules

Connecticut has no limited X-ray operator license. Operating a medical X-ray system requires a radiographer license from the Department of Public Health (C.G.S. 20-74bb), which means an ARRT Radiography credential rather than a limited scope exam.

There are narrow exemptions in C.G.S. 20-74ee: podiatric medical assistants who pass the podiatric radiography exam set by the Connecticut Board of Podiatry Examiners, ARRT- or ISCD-certified bone densitometry technologists under a Connecticut-licensed physician, and PAs using fluoroscopy or a mini C-arm. Our reading of 20-74ee is the 2015 text, so confirm the current rules with DPH.

Some of Connecticut's details aren't stated on an official page we could read. Check with your state board before you apply or register for an exam.
