The Limited License Radiologic Technician (LRT) program is designed to train individuals in performing specific radiologic procedures under the supervision of licensed radiologic technologists or radiologists.

Students learn to operate radiologic equipment, position patients, and ensure image quality, all while adhering to strict safety and ethical standards. This program equips graduates with the skills needed to contribute to patient care in various healthcare settings, playing a crucial role in the diagnostic process.

Setting up and operating the X-ray machine; Positioning the patient for procedures; Calculating the dosage of radiation needed to create a quality x-ray for the physician

One of the primary responsibilities of an LRT is to create images of patients’ bodies using medical equipment. This helps doctors diagnose and treat diseases and injuries. Depending on their specialty, an LRT might use X-ray, MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, or sonography equipment. Some licensed radiologic technicians prepare and inject radiopharmaceutical agents into patients before creating the images. Radiology technicians may also help physicians perform procedures—such as angioplasty or stent insertion—to treat heart and blood vessel diseases without surgery.

Radiologic technologists can expect to work in settings such as doctors offices, urgent care facilities, chiropractor’s offices, hospitals, and other medical facilities.
