What is a Limited Specialty License?

This new license type is for individuals other than a Licensed Practitioner, Radiologic Technologists, or Licensed Technologists, who while under the supervision of a License Practitioner, operates medical equipment emitting ionizing radiation for diagnostic purposes on human beings that are limited to specific Invasive Cardiovascular Imaging Procedures, with RCIS credentialing. Must attach CCI-RCIS card along with application.
From the FAQ section of the website.

Definitions.

˜RCIS™ means Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist.
˜RCIS License™ means an authorization to perform radiologic procedures under the supervision of a Licensed Practitioner that are limited to fluoroscopic radiologic procedures performed for cardiovascular interventional procedures.
˜RCIS Technologist™ means a person other than a Licensed Practitioner, Radiologic Technologist, or Licensed Technologist, while under the supervision of a Licensed Practitioner and operates medical equipment emitting ionizing radiation for fluoroscopic cardiovascular interventional radiologic purposes on human beings that are limited to specific body parts and only for cardiovascular interventional procedures, who has successfully completed educational requirements and passed an examination deemed appropriate by the Committee;
From page 5-6 of Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiologic Technology Licensure; PDF available on the website.

Licensure by Endorsement. The Board may accept a current certificate, registration, or license as a Radiologic Technologist, Licensed Technologist, or Limited Licensed Technologist issued by another state, provided that the standards in the other state meet or exceed the criteria for Arkansas licensure of six hours a year continuing education and an examination whose standards meet or exceed the standards of the current examination approved by the Arkansas State Board of Health. Any individual who holds a current certificate from the ARRT, NMTCB, ACRRT, CCI or ASCP is exempt from examination. The Board shall issue a license to a credentialed individual, upon application and payment of the licensing fee.
From page 9 of Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiologic Technology Licensure; PDF available on the website.

Accepted Examinations. The accepted examinations for licensure are the ARRT, NMTCB, ASCP, ACRRT or CCI examinations for the licensing examinations approved by the Board. The categories of examinations approved by the Board are: Radiography, Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Limited Chest, Limited Spine, Limited Extremities, Limited Skull and Sinus, Limited Ankle and Foot and RCIS.
From pages 8-9 of Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Radiologic Technology Licensure; PDF available on the website.

About the exam. The Radiologic Technology Licensure Program is currently contracting with the ARRT for their Limited Scope Examination for State Purposes. This is not the same examination that Registered Radiologic Technologists take for their national registry. This is the national examination that is the standard for almost every state with a State Licensure Program.
