I am in support of the regulations for Radiologic Technologist remaining intact, as written relating to Chapter 101-Radiologic Technology. I fully support no revisions of this chapter at this time.

I am in support of keeping the current regulations as written in Chapter 101-Radiologic Technology.  Discontinuing this would water down regulations, placing patients at risk of receiving care from a person or caregiver that has limited or no education in this field.  This could certainly lead to undiagnostic imaging and possible misdiagnosis, as well as risk of overexposure.

As an American Registry of Radiologic Technologist Board Trustee, I find this even more important to keep in place as we routinely find encroachment issues in almost every state. And, more importantly, people want to use medical imaging and dispense ionizing radiation to the public with very little or NO training or experience in proper use of the equipment. I have genuine concerns over the safety and health of the citizens of the Commonwealth should this regulation be removed.

As a student of the radiologic imaging sciences at Tidewater Community College and an active student member of the VSRT I am very aware of the issue of professional encroachment. More importantly, I am concerned ultimately about public health and safety if this regulation is removed. In accredited educational programs for these sciences we learn radiation physics and safety practices at length, as well as how to obtain and recognize diagnostic quality images. The practice of imaging without properly regulated training and maintained certification introduces too many variables into patient care related to medical imaging.
