The state of Georgia has become the 25th state to recognize the profession of radiologist assistants (RAs).
The bill, signed into law by Gov. Sonny Perdue, states that the procedures covered in the statute include, but are not limited to, "enteral and parenteral procedures when performed under the direction of the supervising radiologist and may include injecting diagnostic agents to sites other than intravenous, performing diagnostic aspirations and localizations, and assisting radiologists with other invasive procedures."
