R 333.5201 Purpose and scope.

Rule 5201. (1) This part establishes the qualification requirements of individuals engaged in medical radiologic technology. Improper performance of medical radiologic technology results in unnecessary exposure to machine produced ionizing radiation and the unnecessary re-administration of machine produced ionizing radiation. Therefore, the qualification of these individuals to apply machine produced ionizing radiation to humans has a direct impact on the machine produced ionizing radiation burden of the patient. (2) Unless specifically exempt in accordance with R 333.5209, a registrant shall not employ an individual to perform medical radiologic technology who does not meet the requirements of this part or without the expressed written approval of the department.
