Operation of CT Equipment:
  • Operate and calibrate the CT scanner, ensuring proper settings for each scan, including parameters such as radiation dose, slice thickness, and imaging protocols.
  • Administer contrast agents or dye injections (under physician or radiologist guidance) to enhance image clarity during certain CT procedures.

Image Quality and Review:
  • Review the CT images for quality, ensuring that all required areas are captured and the images meet diagnostic standards.
  • Work closely with radiologists to ensure that images are of sufficient quality to support diagnosis.
  • Repeat or adjust scans as necessary to improve image quality or ensure comprehensive imaging coverage.
Patient Safety and Comfort:
  • Follow safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure to patients, including using the lowest possible dose for effective imaging and utilizing shielding where appropriate.
  • Maintain a sterile, safe, and clean environment in the CT room, ensuring all equipment is sanitized between patients.
  • Ensure proper patient positioning to prevent any risk of injury or discomfort during the scan, especially for vulnerable patients such as those with spinal injuries, mobility challenges, or pregnant patients.
  • Monitor patients for any adverse reactions to contrast agents and alert the physician or healthcare provider if necessary.
Collaboration and Communication:
  • Work closely with physicians, radiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to determine the appropriate imaging procedures and assist in diagnosing medical conditions.
  • 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.
Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
  • 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.
Radiation Safety and Compliance:
  • 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.
Documentation and Record Keeping:
  • 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.
Patient Education and Support:
  • 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.
Professional Development and Training:
  • 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.
