I got to do this one on Friday night on my 5 year old after a trip to the ER. The tech let me postion and take it , even though I'm his mom and I wasn't scheduled but since I'm a studen they let me take it. I scanned it so the quality isn't the greatest.

That is great, but when you say you weren't scheduled, does that mean you weren't there as a student? But they let you take the xray? Interesting.

Actually, depending on the state, it may be illegal.

You're allowed, under the auspices of the program you attend, to use ionizing radiation under the direct supervision of a technologist. But when you were not scheduled, you were not there as a student. Program hours are x to x .. so you were there as John Q Citizen.

Sounds harsh, but technically ....
