- Additional Notes: Would like basic Rad techs to also have Fluro permit so they can also do OR & routine work, Would be a huge Plus if Rad Tech can also do CT & Mammography & be certified through the State pf CA. Advanced certification is a PLUS but not required. Venipuncture experience would be a PLUS but not required. Someone with a lot of OR experience is desirable. It would be good if Mammography Tech has tomography training.
