4. Physical or mental disability materially affecting the ability to perform the duties of a
medical imaging or radiation therapy professional in a competent manner.

deceive, defraud, or harm the public.
6. Aiding or abetting the performance of medical imaging or radiation therapy by an
unlicensed, incompetent, or impaired individual.
7. The violation of any provision of this chapter, any rule of the board, or any federal or
state law applicable to the practice of medical imaging or radiation therapy, or any
action, stipulation, limitation, condition, or agreement imposed by the board or its
investigative panels.
8. The performance of medical imaging or radiation therapy under a false or assumed
name.
9. The willful or negligent violation of the confidentiality between medical imaging or
radiation therapy professional and patient, except as required by law.
10. Gross negligence in the performance of medical imaging or radiation therapy.
11. Sexual abuse, misconduct, or exploitation related to the licensee's performance of
medical imaging or radiation therapy.

13. The failure to maintain in good standing, including completion of continuing education
or recertification requirements, a certification from a certification organization

recognized by the board for the medical imaging or radiation therapy modality for
which a license has been issued by the board.
14. The imposition by another state, jurisdiction, or certification organization recognized by
the board of disciplinary action against a license, certification, or other authorization to
perform medical imaging or radiation therapy based upon acts or conduct by the
medical imaging or radiation therapy professional which would constitute grounds for
disciplinary action under this section. A certified copy of the record of the action taken
by the other state, jurisdiction, or certification organization is conclusive evidence of
that action.
15. The failure to furnish the board or the investigative panel or investigators or
representatives of the board or investigative panel information legally requested by the
board or the investigative panel. The board shall keep a record of its proceedings in a
disciplinary action or refusal to issue a license, together with the evidence offered.
