The Illinois Prairie State Chiropractic Association (IPSCA) presents a 42 hour course of information to assist your CA in preparation for taking the state exam which will allow your CA to take spinal x-rays. REQUIRED BY STATE LAW: Anyone in a chiropractic office taking x-rays is REQUIRED to be licensed or certified by the state of Illinois or the ARRT. Under the Illinois Radiation Act, a licensed Chiropractor may register an assistant (CA) as a “Student-In-Training” in radiology. Within 8 months of application to the state of Illinois the student must take a state exam given by the AART in radiation physics and patient protection followed by an examination in a specialty positioning selected (spinal). Upon successful completion of the state examination the student will be certified to take x-rays by the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety as a “Limited Radiographic Technician”.
