A bill that would require licensure for medical imaging and radiation therapy technologists has been introduced in the Pennsylvania Legislature, according to the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
The Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Health and Safety Act (HB 1811) would set up a board of examiners to create licensing requirements and standards that technologists would have to meet to practice in the state.
The SNMMI and several other radiology groups support the legislation.
