NPs in North Carolina attempting to get privileges to "order, perform, supervise, and interpret diagnostic studies". Does not exclude MR, CT, etc. So, yes- if not excluded, would presumably include it.

This is called the "CARES" act. Radiologist must be all over this.
For that matter, Radiologists should stand with all of medicine in opposing every aspect of this.
In California, a similar bill, AB890, contained a provision that would allow NPs to read ultrasound, x-ray, and mammography. (even though non-physicians cannot, by federal regulation, interpret mammography).
The California Radiologic society negotiated, and got that wording removed. The price was that they (CRS) would support the rest of the bill. I don't think they should have done that, although there are certainly reasons that they should have.
