NYS RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST LICENSURE
EXAM GRADED A+|2026 VERSION |100 % PASS
GUARANTEED
1. According to New York State Education Law, what is the statutory definition of the practice of
radiologic technology?
A. The operation of Xray equipment under any circumstances
B. The application of radiation to humans for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes under the supervision
of a licensed practitioner
C. The independent interpretation of radiographic images
D. The maintenance and repair of radiology equipment
Answer: B
Rationale: NYS Education Law defines the practice of radiologic technology as the application of radiation
to humans for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes under the supervision of a licensed practitioner
authorized to prescribe such procedures. Interpretation of images is outside the scope of radiologic
technology and is the practice of medicine.
2. Which entity in New York State issues the license to practice as a Radiologic Technologist?
A. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT)
B. The NYS Department of Health (DOH)
C. The NYS Board of Regents via the State Education Department
D. The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT)
Answer: C
Rationale: The NYS Education Department, under the authority of the Board of Regents, issues
professional licenses, including the Radiologic Technologist license. The ARRT provides national
,certification/registration, which is a prerequisite for state licensure, but does not grant legal authority to
practice in NYS.
3. What are the two levels of radiologic technologist licensure recognized in New York State?
A. Limited Permit XRay Technician and Licensed Radiologic Technologist
B. Certified Radiologic Technologist (CRT) and Registered Radiologic Technologist (RRT)
C. Radiography Technician and Radiation Therapy Technician
D. Basic and Advanced
Answer: A
Rationale: NYS recognizes two levels: (1) Licensed Radiologic Technologist requires ARRT certification in
radiography, radiation therapy, or nuclear medicine technology; and (2) Limited Permit XRay Technician
permits performance of specific, limited procedures in specific settings under supervision. Limited permit
holders are restricted to specific body areas (e.g., chest, extremities, skull) and cannot perform
fluoroscopy or complex procedures.
4. A Licensed Radiologic Technologist holds ARRT certification in radiography. They are asked to perform
a CT scan of the head. Is this within their legal scope in NYS?
A. Yes, CT is within the scope of radiography
B. No, CT requires separate ARRT certification in Computed Tomography and appropriate state licensure
C. Yes, as long as a radiologist supervises the procedure
D. No, unless the technologist also holds a nursing license
Answer: B
Rationale: While CT uses Xradiation, it is considered a separate modality requiring additional education
and ARRT postprimary certification in Computed Tomography. NYS licensure as a Radiologic Technologist
in radiography alone does not authorize the performance of CT. The technologist must obtain ARRT
,certification in CT and ensure their state license reflects this qualification or obtain a separate
license/registration.
5. A student radiologic technologist graduates from a JRCERTaccredited program in May, passes the ARRT
Radiography exam in July, and receives their NYS license in September. When may they legally begin
practicing as a radiologic technologist in New York State?
A. Immediately after graduation under the supervision of a licensed technologist
B. After passing the ARRT exam
C. After receiving the NYSissued license
D. After completing 1,000 hours of supervised practice
Answer: C
Rationale: Passing the ARRT exam is a requirement for state licensure, but legal authority to practice as a
radiologic technologist comes from the NYS Education Department license. Practicing without a state
license constitutes unlicensed practice and is illegal. There is no provisional license or temporary permit
for graduates awaiting licensure in NYS for radiologic technologists.
6. A radiologic technologist moves to New York from Texas. Texas does not require state licensure for
radiologic technologists (though employers require ARRT certification). The technologist holds active
ARRT certification in radiography. What must this technologist do to practice in NYS?
A. No action required; ARRT certification is valid nationwide
B. Apply for NYS licensure by endorsement and meet NYS education and examination requirements
C. Complete a new JRCERTaccredited program in NYS
D. Practice under a limited permit for 1 year
Answer: B
Rationale: NYS requires licensure. The technologist must apply for licensure by endorsement, submit
verification of ARRT certification and education, and meet NYS requirements. There is no automatic
, reciprocity; NYS evaluates each applicant individually. If the applicant's education meets NYS standards,
they may be licensed without additional examination.
7. According to NYS law, what is the continuing education requirement for radiologic technologist license
renewal?
A. No CEUs required
B. 12 contact hours per year
C. 24 contact hours per triennial registration period
D. 50 contact hours every 2 years
Answer: C
Rationale: NYS requires 24 contact hours of approved continuing education per triennial (3year)
registration period for radiologic technologists. Licensees must maintain documentation of CEUs for audit
purposes. This is separate from maintaining ARRT certification, which also requires continuing education
(24 CE credits per biennium).
8. A Limited Permit XRay Technician in NYS is employed in an urgent care center. Which of the following
procedures is this technician permitted to perform?
A. Barium enema
B. Chest Xray (PA and lateral)
C. Upper GI series
D. Cardiac catheterization
Answer: B
Rationale: Limited permit holders in NYS are restricted to specific, predetermined procedures. They may
perform routine chest, extremity, skull, and spine radiography. They CANNOT perform fluoroscopy,
complex positioning, or specialized procedures such as contrast studies (barium enema, UGI),
interventional radiology, or CT. The specific allowable procedures are listed on the limited permit.
