- Position patients correctly for optimal imaging results, ensuring patient comfort and safety during the procedure.
- Adjust imaging equipment settings to obtain clear, accurate, and high-quality diagnostic images.
- Patient Interaction and Preparation:
- Explain imaging procedures to patients, alleviating concerns and ensuring they understand the process, risks, and benefits.
- Verify patient identity and medical history to ensure appropriate radiopharmaceutical use and test procedures.
- Prepare patients for imaging procedures, ensuring they are in the proper position and assisting with any necessary physical support.
- Image Analysis and Documentation:
- Review images to ensure diagnostic quality, and ensure proper labeling and documentation for each test performed.
- Assist physicians and radiologists by providing preliminary image analysis, noting any abnormalities or relevant findings.
- Maintain accurate patient records, including patient history, test results, and imaging reports, in compliance with hospital or facility protocols.
- Equipment Maintenance and Safety:
- Perform routine maintenance and calibration of nuclear medicine imaging equipment, ensuring proper function and safety.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to imaging equipment or radiopharmaceuticals.
- Ensure that all equipment and facilities meet safety standards, particularly in handling radioactive materials, to minimize risk to both patients and staff.
- Follow infection control and radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure.
- Radiation Safety and Compliance:
- Adhere to all safety and regulatory guidelines regarding the use of radioactive substances, ensuring patient and staff safety at all times.
- Monitor and manage radiation exposure to patients, ensuring compliance with regulatory bodies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Radiation Safety Office (RSO).
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of safety standards and best practices in radiation protection.
- Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
- Work closely with nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the proper execution of imaging procedures.
- Communicate effectively with the medical team to discuss patient conditions and help interpret diagnostic images.
- Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings to review cases, discuss treatment plans, and provide input based on imaging results.
- Patient Care and Follow-up:
- Provide post-procedure care instructions to patients, including guidance on hydration or any side effects related to the radiopharmaceutical.
- Monitor patients during recovery and assist with any immediate medical concerns following the procedure.
- Offer information to patients regarding any follow-up imaging or treatment required based on their results.
