 4 uous real-time imaging of an instrument, dye, or body part during a
 5 diagnostic or treatment procedure so that location and movement of such
 6 instrument, dye, or body part can be detected and evaluated.
 7 § 2. Paragraphs (c) and (d) of subdivision 2 of section 3502 of the
 8 public health law, as added by chapter 175 of the laws of 2006, are
 9 amended, and a new paragraph (e) is added to read as follows:
 10 (c) only persons licensed under this article shall practice radiogra-
 11 phy, radiation therapy or nuclear medicine technology or use the title
 12 "radiographer," "radiologic technologist," "radiation therapist" or
 13 "nuclear medicine technologist" or use the abbreviations LRT, RTT, LRTT,
 14 NMT, or LNMT with [his or her] their name; [and]
 15 (d) notwithstanding paragraph (c) of this subdivision, quality control
 16 tests and radiation therapy treatment planning may also be performed by
 17 individuals not licensed by this article[.]; and
 18 (e) a licensed physician assistant may engage in the use of fluorosco-
 19 py for guidance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; provided that
 20 the physician assistant has successfully completed an educational
 21 program consisting of at least forty hours of didactic and forty hours
 22 of clinical training with successful completion of a competency exam, as
 23 approved by the department.
 24 § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 25 it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amend-
 26 ment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implemen-
 27 tation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and
 28 completed on or before such effective date.
