The main difference is that Volunteer Limited Scope X Ray Techs operate under restricted procedures with specific certifications, focusing on basic radiography. Volunteer X Ray Techs may have similar roles but can sometimes perform a broader range of imaging tasks depending on their training. Both roles are common in healthcare and volunteer settings, but the limited scope designation emphasizes a narrower set of responsibilities.
