What is a limited radiographer?

A Limited Radiographer is a healthcare professional trained to perform specific types of diagnostic X-ray procedures, usually on certain parts of the body, under the supervision of a licensed radiologist or physician. Unlike fully licensed radiologic technologists, Limited Radiographers have a restricted scope of practice, which is defined by state regulations and their certification. They typically work in clinics, physician offices, or urgent care centers, and are responsible for producing quality images while ensuring patient safety. Their duties may also include preparing patients for procedures and maintaining imaging equipment.
