The board issues general, restricted, special and temporary licenses through the Professional Licensing Boards Office, and the ASRT table lists licenses for limited operators, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and radiologist assistants. Laramie County Community College trains most of the state’s imaging graduates, Casper College the rest; both kept resident tuition and fees under $5,000 a year.
