Limited permit X-ray technicians are excluded from:

• A. taking plain radiographs of the extremities
• B. operating portable or mobile X-ray equipment
• C. taking plain radiographs of the chest
• D. all of the above

Answer: (D)

Limited permit X-ray technicians operate under direct supervision and have a restricted scope of practice. They aren’t authorized to perform radiographic exams independently, including taking plain radiographs of the extremities or the chest, nor to operate portable or mobile X-ray equipment. The tasks of selecting appropriate exposure factors, ensuring correct patient positioning, applying radiation protection, and safely using portable units require the training and responsibility that come with a full license. Because of these restrictions, a limited permit holder is excluded from all of these activities.
