To date, in utilizing Control the Dose, members of our team in Illinois have passed the ARRT Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography Exam, successfully becoming certified as Limited License X-ray Techs. Given the success in Illinois, we have rolled this program out in Florida and plan to roll it out in additional states soon. If your company is turning toward limited x-ray licensure, Control the Dose is highly recommended as an educational program for your team!
