- Document patient information, scan parameters, contrast media used, and any complications in the electronic health record (EHR).
- Participate in patient care planning, discussing with the team how to best approach imaging in complex cases.
- Maintain, clean, and perform basic troubleshooting on the CT scanner and associated equipment, ensuring everything is functioning properly.
- Perform routine inspections and calibration of CT equipment and alert maintenance staff to any malfunctioning or unsafe equipment.
- Keep accurate logs of equipment use, maintenance, and any repairs or service performed.
- Follow all radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff, including the use of appropriate shielding and adhering to dosage guidelines.
- Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, including HIPAA, safety standards, and Joint Commission guidelines.
- Stay updated on changes to regulatory standards, including radiation safety, patient privacy, and procedural guidelines.
- Accurately document imaging procedures, patient information, and any adverse events or changes in patient status.
- Ensure all documentation is compliant with hospital or clinic policies, medical record-keeping regulations, and industry standards.
- Assist with maintaining patient flow by providing quick turnaround times for imaging results when needed.
- Provide education and guidance to patients regarding aftercare following contrast injections, potential side effects, and follow-up procedures.
- Address patient concerns about the procedure, including fears of radiation exposure or claustrophobia, offering support as necessary.
- Ensure patient privacy and dignity are maintained throughout the imaging process.
- Participate in continuing education to stay current with advancements in CT imaging technology, protocols, and safety procedures.
- Attend in-house training sessions and seminars on new imaging techniques or equipment.
- Maintain professional certification and licensure, including any continuing education requirements.
