Summary

Existing law establishes various programs for the prevention of disease and the promotion of health to be administered by the State Department of Public Health, including, but not limited to, a program for the certification and regulation of radiological technologists. Existing law, with certain exceptions, prohibits a person from operating or maintaining any X-ray fluoroscope, or other equipment or apparatus employing roentgen rays, in the fitting of shoes or other footwear or in the viewing of bones in the feet. Violation of these provisions is a crime. This bill would, in addition, exempt from this prohibition the use of a mini C-arm digital radiography device in connection with the diagnosis of bone fractures, in a licensed trauma center or an emergency department of a licensed hospital, by an orthopedic resident, an orthopedic nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant, when under the direct or indirect supervision of a certified radiological technologist.
