P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 3352
Any person who is engaged in the practice of the radiologic diagnostic imaging and treatment technology, and who as such intervenes in the operation or functioning of equipment that emits radiation, or other forms of electromagnetic energy used for diagnosis, shall carry out his/her functions under the supervision of a radiology physician and shall have a diagnostic imaging and treatment radiologic technologist license. In the case of radiotherapy technologists, these shall hold a license that certifies them as such, which authorizes them to operate any equipment used in the treatment of patients, although the equipment used is able to provide a clinical diagnosis in another modality. These shall carry out their functions under the direction of a radio-oncologist and a physicist. Veterinarians, dentists, nuclear medicine technologists, forensic pathologists and radiation physicists while operating such equipment in the regular course of their professions are hereby exempted from the application of this chapter and all other professionals who use radiological imaging, provided, that they are authorized by the law that regulates the practice of said functions.
