Job Summary: CT Technologist (BSN)
Locations: Poughkeepsie, NY (Update)
Our client provides a comprehensive range of cutting-edge diagnostic imaging services from
state-of-the-art modalities at various institutions. Our patient-oriented imaging centers aim to create a
positive experience for all. Conveniently located throughout the five boroughs and extending to Nassau
and Suffolk County, our team performs technological functions to ensure the optimal diagnostic quality
of patient care, utilizing efficient and safe processes.
Key ResponsibilitiesPatient Preparation: One of the primary responsibilities of a CT Technologist is to prepare patients for imaging procedures. This involves explaining the CT scan process, addressing any concerns or questions, and ensuring that patients are comfortable. Technologists must obtain medical histories and check for any contraindications, such as allergies to contrast agents.
Operating CT Equipment: CT Technologists are trained to operate sophisticated imaging equipment. They are responsible for setting up and calibrating the CT scanner, adjusting parameters such as slice thickness, contrast injection rates, and imaging protocols based on the type of examination required. This requires a solid understanding of both the technology and the anatomy being scanned.
Image Acquisition: During the scanning process, CT Technologists must position patients correctly to ensure high-quality images. They need to monitor the imaging process in real time, making adjustments as necessary to optimize the results. This includes ensuring that the patient remains still and comfortable during the scan, which can take several minutes.
Quality Control: After acquiring the images, CT Technologists evaluate them for quality and clarity. They must identify any artifacts or issues that may affect the diagnostic quality of the images and may need to repeat scans if necessary. This responsibility is crucial for providing accurate diagnostic information to physicians.
Collaboration with Radiologists: CT Technologists work closely with radiologists and other healthcare professionals. They must effectively communicate the specifics of the scans performed, relay any relevant patient information, and understand the requirements of the radiologist for specific imaging studies. This collaboration ensures comprehensive patient care and accurate diagnoses.
Patient Safety and Radiation Protection: Ensuring patient safety is a critical component of a CT Technologist's role. They must adhere to strict safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure, including utilizing the lowest possible radiation dose required for effective imaging. Technologists also educate patients on the importance of safety during procedures.
Documentation and Record Keeping: CT Technologists are responsible for maintaining accurate patient records, including images, reports, and any relevant notes regarding the imaging procedures. This documentation is essential for follow-up care and for other healthcare providers involved in the patient's treatment.
Equipment Maintenance: Routine maintenance and troubleshooting of CT equipment is another aspect of the job. Technologists must ensure that machines are functioning properly and report any issues to the appropriate personnel for repair. They may also assist in maintaining inventory for imaging supplies and contrast materials.
Continuing Education and Professional Development: The field of medical imaging is constantly evolving, and CT Technologists are expected to stay updated on the latest advancements in technology and best practices. This may involve attending workshops, completing continuing education courses, and obtaining certifications relevant to CT imaging.
To become a CT Technologist, individuals typically need to hold an associate's or bachelor’s degree in radiologic technology or a related field. Additionally, they must be licensed and certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or an equivalent certification body. Specialized training in computed tomography is often required, along with clinical experience.
Skills and Competencies- Technical Proficiency: A thorough understanding of CT imaging technology and protocols is essential.
- Attention to Detail: The ability to detect subtle abnormalities in images and maintain accuracy in patient positioning and equipment setup.
- Communication Skills: Strong verbal skills to explain procedures to patients and collaborate with healthcare teams.
- Compassion and Empathy: Providing patient-centered care and supporting individuals during potentially stressful medical procedures.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot equipment issues and adapt to varying patient needs and conditions.
