Job ResponsibilitiesTechnical support, equipment management, patient data entryPatient care, administrative tasks, clinical support

While both roles support healthcare operations, On Call Lxmo focuses on technical and equipment support, whereas On Call Medical Assistants handle direct patient care and administrative duties. The roles often overlap in healthcare settings but differ in primary responsibilities and required certifications.

What are the typical responsibilities of an on call LXMO during a shift, and how do they collaborate with other healthcare professionals?

As an On Call Limited X-ray Machine Operator (Lxmo), your main responsibilities include performing basic diagnostic imaging procedures, maintaining equipment, and ensuring patient comfort and safety during exams. On-call status means you'll respond to urgent imaging needs, often working evenings, nights, or weekends. Collaboration is key—you'll work closely with radiologists, nurses, and physicians to deliver timely results, and communicate effectively to ensure accurate patient care. Flexibility and strong organizational skills are important, as you may handle multiple tasks or patients in a fast-paced environment.

What is an on call LXMO?

An On Call LXMO stands for Limited X-ray Machine Operator who works on an as-needed basis, filling in shifts or covering absences rather than having a regular, full-time schedule. LXMOs are trained and licensed to perform basic diagnostic X-ray imaging under the supervision of a radiologic technologist or physician. The 'on call' aspect means they must be available to work during off-hours, weekends, or whenever their services are required at a healthcare facility. This role requires flexibility, technical competence, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced medical environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an on call LXMO, and why are they important?

To thrive as an On Call Limited X-ray Machine Operator (Lxmo), you need a solid understanding of radiographic procedures, anatomy, and safety protocols, typically supported by completion of a state-approved Lxmo program and licensure. Familiarity with digital radiography systems, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), and adherence to radiation safety standards is essential. Attention to detail, adaptability, and effective communication with patients and healthcare teams are standout soft skills in this role. These abilities ensure safe, accurate imaging that supports timely diagnosis and patient care in dynamic healthcare environments.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Limited X-Ray Machine Operator (LXMO) performs diagnostic imaging services within the scope of their Illinois IEMA-issued license under the direct supervision of a licensed physician at the Orthopedic Center of Illinois. This role supports our clinical team by providing timely, high-quality extremity and spine radiographic imaging to assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic conditions. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, patient-focused, and committed to delivering safe, accurate imaging in a fast-paced orthopedic environment.


ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Imaging & Patient Care

  • Perform diagnostic x-ray imaging within the specific body part categories authorized by the Illinois IEMA LXMO license, including extremities and spine.
  • Position patients accurately and safely to obtain optimal diagnostic images while minimizing radiation exposure.
  • Explain the x-ray procedure clearly and compassionately to patients prior to imaging, addressing questions and alleviating anxiety.
  • Ensure patient comfort, dignity, and safety throughout the imaging process, including proper shielding and positioning.
  • Identify and communicate any patient concerns or positioning challenges to the supervising physician promptly.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Active and unrestricted Illinois IEMA Limited X-Ray Machine Operator (LXMO) license with authorization for extremities and/or spine — or eligibility to obtain licensure within a defined timeframe agreed upon at hire.
  • Successful completion of an IEMA-approved Limited X-Ray training program.
  • Passing score on the ARRT Limited Scope of Practice Examination for applicable body part categories.
  • Strong commitment to patient safety, dignity, and compassionate care.
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, high-volume orthopedic clinical environment.
  • Basic proficiency with computers and electronic health record systems.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Prior experience performing x-rays in an orthopedic, urgent care, or physician office setting.
  • Familiarity with digital radiography systems and PACS.
  • Experience working with orthopedic patient populations including post-operative and trauma patients.
  • Medical Assistant (CMA/RMA) certification or prior clinical experience is a plus.
  • Knowledge of orthopedic anatomy and musculoskeletal imaging positioning.

LICENSURE & CONTINUING EDUCATION

The LXMO license issued by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) must remain active and in good standing at all times. The license requires renewal every two years with completion of required continuing education in radiation safety. The employee is responsible for maintaining licensure and providing proof of renewal to Human Resources prior to the expiration date. Failure to maintain an active license will result in immediate removal from imaging duties.
