We have enhanced the security of the X-ray Licensure System (XLS).  Users will be required to create an account in the ODH Gateway in order to apply, amend, renew, or check the status of a license in the XLS.  The ODH Gateway provides added security to your personal information.  Please select the Apply, Amend, or Renew link to the left to establish an account in the ODH Gateway.

The XLS now allows users to upload documents to their application and accepts online payments. 



On 8/1/07 the radiologic licensure rules were amended.  For information regarding the rule amendments, please slect the General Information & Fees or rules link.

The Radiologic License program ensures standards of knowledge and skill for operators who apply ionizing radiation to human beings for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.  Through continuous enforcement, initiative and action, the program assures medical patients receive quality diagnostic imaging and services.

Pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, any individual who performs radiologic procedures on human beings shall hold a valid Ohio radiologic license.  Radiologic licenses are issued for these license categories: General X-Ray machine Operator, Radiographer, Nuclear Medicine Technologist, and Radiation Therapist.

The program is funded by license application fees, renewal fees, continuing education provider fees and educational accreditation fees.  The program has licensed more than 16,000 operators, 48 educational facilities, and 170 continuing educational courses.
