Limited X-ray Machine Operator (LXMO)

A Limited X-Ray Machine Operator (LXMO) is a professional with a restricted scope certificate who performs diagnostic x-ray procedures on specific anatomical sites. Success in this field requires excellent communication, critical thinking, and a compassionate nature, along with a strong aptitude for science. While their knowledge must be on par with general radiographers, LXMOs have limitations in their duties, focusing solely on specific radiography content areas.
