Which statement correctly describes the board's mammography requirements for MRT license holders?

• A. MRT license; 25 contact hours under supervision; 15 mammographic examinations
• B. MRT license; 40 contact hours under supervision; 25 mammographic examinations (within those 40 hours)
• C. MRT license not required for mammography
• D. MRT license; 40 contact hours under supervision; 15 mammographic examinations (within those 40 hours)

Answer: (B)

Mammography practice under the MRT license requires supervised hands-on experience paired with a defined amount of real-world practice. The board sets forty contact hours under supervision, and within those forty hours, twenty-five mammographic examinations must be performed. This arrangement ensures both guided instruction and sufficient practical exposure to develop competency and safety in performing mammography. The other statements don’t fit because they either understate the required supervised experience or the number of actual exams, or incorrectly claim that a license isn’t required for mammography.
