  • Collaborate with radiologists to ensure final images meet diagnostic standards and are transmitted accurately.

Documentation and Record-Keeping:

  • Document patient information and scan results in the electronic health record (EHR), ensuring records are complete and accurate.
  • Label and upload imaging data into the system, assisting with reports or communications as needed.
  • Maintain logs of equipment usage, maintenance, and procedure issues.

Radiation Safety and Protocols:

  • Follow guidelines for handling contrast agents and equipment that could pose a risk to patients.
  • Adhere to radiation safety standards for other imaging technologies used in the department.
  • Follow established safety protocols, including magnetic field safety, to prevent accidents or injuries.
