The Technologist Certification Section (Section) within the Bureau of Radiological Health (BRH) administers New Jersey's educational and licensure program for radiologic technologists. In New Jersey, there are approximately 20,000 licensed radiologic technologists in eight licensure categories. Additionally, there are over 60 educational programs that are continually monitored by the Section and approved by either the Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners (Board) or the Commission on Radiation Protection (CORP). All nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and x-ray procedures must be performed by individuals who are licensed by the Board or the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). New Jersey licensed doctors also are permitted to perform x-ray or radiation therapy procedures provided that they are practicing within the scope of their licenses. In addition to license technologists and dentists, a dental hygienist registered by the Dental Board of Examiners is permitted to perform dental x-ray procedures. The goal of our licensure program is to ensure that patients receive the benefits of high quality radiological procedures without unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation.
