Hi Les and Radsafers,

Here in New Jersey our rules are very explicit. IMO NJ would prohibit
the use of these devices unless operated by a licensed radiological
technologist. Here is the reg:

"...no person other than a licensed practicioner or the holder of a
license as provided in this subchapter shall use x-rays in such a manner
as to expose human beings."

Regards, Wes
