Pennsylvania Senate Passes Licensure Bill for Medical Imaging Professionals

The Pennsylvania Senate passed SB 1334 (45-5) requiring state licensure for medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals, establishing uniform competency and continuing education standards. The bill now heads to the House.

• The Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Health and Safety Act would cover radiography, nuclear medicine, diagnostic sonography, MRI, CT, radiation therapy, and radiology assistants.
• Pennsylvania is currently one of a small handful of states without dedicated state licensure for these professionals.
• Sponsors say the bill does not create a new exam or require additional schooling for already qualified individuals.
