About the certificate

The X-ray Supervisor & Operator Certificate* is granted to physicians, physician assistants, podiatrists, and chiropractors, by the California Department of Public Health Radiological Health Branch (RHB).

The certificate allows you to use x-rays in diagnosis and treatment. This includes applications to fluoroscopy, radiography, bone densitometry, and dermatology.

* same as fluoro license, fluoro permit, etc.

CME requirements for renewal

To renew your X-ray Supervisor & Operator Certificate, you are required to earn 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ in the application of x-rays to the human body.

If your permit specifically relates to fluoroscopy, then 4 out of the 10 credits should relate to radiation safety for the clinical uses of fluoroscopy.
