The Louisiana Legislature passed
legislation to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. R. S. 37:
3200- LA Licensure of Radiologic Technologists was enacted to establish
good practice and protect the safety of the public from overexposure and
unnecessary ionizing radiation exposure by unqualified operators of medical
equipment producing and emitting ionizing radiation. This law pertains to both
diagnostic and therapeutic uses of ionizing radiation on humans for medical
purposes.
Pursuant to the Louisiana Licensure Law, any individual who performs radiologic
procedures on humans shall hold a valid Louisiana radiologic technology license.
The LSRTBE has developed many position statements. Listed are a few examples of
