South Carolina's limited X-ray rules
South Carolina law (S.C. Code 44-74) defines a limited practice radiographer, a limited chest radiographer and a podiatric limited practice radiographer. The certifying board, the SC Radiation Quality Standards Association (RQSA), sets the qualifications and may run exams.
The certificate names (CLR-G general, CLR-C chest, CLR-P podiatric, CLR-Ch chiropractic) and ARRT's role come only from a secondary source. We found no official RQSA page confirming whether the limited exams are ARRT Limited Scope modules, so please check with RQSA.
Worth knowing
- Bone densitometry has its own certificates (Certified Bone Densitometrist, and Peripheral), reportedly with a South Carolina exam given through ARRT (secondary source).
Some of South Carolina'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.
