Which statement about NCT license holders' supervision is correct?

• A. MRT license holders may perform radiologic procedures without supervision
• B. LMRT license holders may perform radiologic procedures without supervision
• C. All license types require supervision for radiologic procedures
• D. NCT license holders are allowed to perform radiologic procedures only under supervision of a practitioner

Answer: (D)

Understanding supervision rules for NCT license holders is key here. NCT stands for non-certified technologist, which means individuals in this category do not have independent authorization to perform radiologic procedures. To protect patients and ensure proper technique and radiation safety, any radiologic procedure performed by an NCT must be under the direct oversight of a licensed practitioner. That makes the statement about NCT license holders requiring supervision the correct one. The other options would suggest independence for those under different licenses or claim a blanket rule for all license types, which isn’t accurate for the NCT category.
