What is one procedure a LMRT licence holder cannot perform?

A licensed Medical Radiologic Technologist (LMRT) is limited in the breadth of procedures they are authorized to perform based on their training and credentials. Mammography, in particular, is a specialized imaging procedure that focuses on breast tissue and requires additional certification beyond the standard training for LMRTs. The training and certification process for mammography ensures that technologists are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform these examinations safely and effectively, taking into account the unique anatomical and physiological considerations involved.

This additional requirement for specific certification means that an LMRT, without the requisite further training in mammography, is not permitted to conduct this type of imaging. In contrast, the other procedures listed, such as CT scans, nuclear medicine, and fluoroscopy, are typically within the scope of practice for LMRTs, provided they have received the appropriate training for those modalities. Thus, the prohibition against LMRTs performing mammography is grounded in ensuring patient safety and the quality of care, requiring that technologists have specialized training for procedures that have specific diagnostic considerations.
