Utah's limited X-ray rules
Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) licenses Radiology Practical Technicians. Under Utah Admin. Code R156-54-302b you pass the ARRT Limited Scope Core plus one or more of chest, extremities, skull/sinuses, spine and podiatric at 75%, or the ARRT Bone Densitometry Equipment Operator exam at 75%.
DOPL issues a separate, no-fee Authorization to Test for each exam and each retake. No law and rules exam is mentioned.
What you'll study for Utah
Choose Utah when you sign up and your practice questions, micro lessons and timed mock exams cover the core and the chest, extremities, skull/sinuses, spine and podiatric modules, with nothing from modules Utah doesn't use. Mock exams are weighted like the real one and scored section by section; we call you ready at 75% on every section.
| Section | Practice questions | Micro lessons |
|---|---|---|
| Core (patient care, radiation safety, image production) | 1,806 | 132 |
| Chest | 242 | 11 |
| Extremities | 718 | 41 |
| Skull/Sinuses | 134 | 10 |
| Spine | 232 | 12 |
| Podiatric | 148 | 10 |
A question or lesson that fits two sections is counted in both.
