12 vac5-481 Technologists
 

on page 307 of this document it notes that only state licensed technologists and ARRT certified technologists may operate x-ray equipment. This needs to be ammended by adding "or students enrolled in a school of radiologic technology that is accredited by an orginization acceptable to the ARRT such as the JRCERT". In addition there should be a gratis time from the date of graduation until the technologist becomes ARRT certified. Such technologists are registry elligible but may not have recieved their test date and thus may not be ARRT certified for a period of time to be agreed upon.
