Connecticut has become the 26th state to recognize advanced-practice medical imaging by radiologist assistants (RAs).
The Connecticut legislature passed HB 6678, "Revisions to Department of Public Health Licensing Statutes," during its final day of the legislative session.
Additional provisions in the bill include a definition covering the operation of medical x-ray equipment to include energizing the beam, positioning the patient, and positioning or moving any equipment in relation to the patient.
