- Keep detailed logs of equipment use, maintenance, and any repairs or service performed.
- Radiation Safety and Compliance:

- Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, including HIPAA, safety standards, and Joint Commission guidelines.
- Stay informed about updates to regulatory standards, encompassing radiation safety, patient privacy, and procedural guidelines.
- Documentation and Record Keeping:
- Thoroughly document imaging procedures, patient information, and any adverse events or changes in patient status.
- Guarantee that all documentation meets hospital or clinic policies, medical record-keeping regulations, and industry standards.
- Assist in maintaining patient flow by providing timely imaging results when required.
- Patient Education and Support:
- Provide education and guidance to patients regarding post-procedure care following contrast injections, potential side effects, and follow-up procedures.
- Address patient concerns about the procedure, including fears of radiation exposure or claustrophobia, offering necessary support.
- Ensure patient privacy and dignity are maintained throughout the imaging process.
- Professional Development and Training:
