Mississippi SB2549 revises licensure qualifications for radiologist assistants and authorizes them to communicate preliminary image interpretation.
Mississippi SB2549 amends the Mississippi Code to revise the licensure qualifications for radiologist assistants. It requires applicants to be credentialed to provide radiology services under a radiologist's supervision, registered as a radiologic technologist, and certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. The bill authorizes radiologist assistants to communicate preliminary image interpretation reports to other care providers, clearly labeled as such, but mandates that final image interpretation must be provided by a radiologist.
