Limited X-Ray Machine Operator Permit - Forms

Official letter from the State of Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing

RADIOGRAPHER LICENSE AND LIMITED X-RAY MACHINE OPERATOR PERMIT

Please be aware that the specific requirements described below are based upon administrative rules which have been submitted to the legislative subcommittee. All applications forms will be available through the DRL website when the rules receive final adoption.

In 2010, a new law was enacted in Wisconsin which establishes licensing and permitting requirements for those who perform medical radiography or provide medical radiographic services. The new law, 2009 Wisconsin Act 106, which created Chapter 462 of the Wisconsin statutes, requires that any person who performs radiography or operates an X-ray machine or X-ray equipment, and is not exempt from the law, shall obtain a license to perform radiography or a permit to operate X-ray machines or perform limited scope radiographic procedures. This advisory bulletin is issued by the Wisconsin Radiography Examining Board to inform all persons who are affected by the new law about the options for obtaining the license or permit, the requirements and qualifications required for each, and to briefly explain the application process.

How do I know whether I need a radiography license or LXMO permit?

If you are seeking to perform the full range of diagnostic radiography procedures, only a licensed radiographer is qualified to do so. A person who is operating x-ray equipment in a limited scope (e.g. x-rays of extremities or chest X-rays); a permit will allow you to do so.

If you are ARRT certified, or will soon qualify for an ARRT certificate, you should apply for a radiography license. If you are taking radiographs, but you are not a student or ARRT certified, you should apply for the LXMO permit.
