Technologist (also known as a Radiologic Technologist ) is
responsible for performing diagnostic imaging procedures using
X-ray equipment to create images of a patient's internal
structures. These images are used by physicians to diagnose and
monitor various medical conditions. The role requires strong
technical knowledge, an understanding of patient safety, and
excellent communication skills to ensure high-quality imaging while
maintaining patient comfort and care. Key Responsibilities :
Pre-Procedure Preparation : Review patient medical history and
physician orders to determine the appropriate X-ray procedure.
Prepare and check the X-ray equipment, ensuring that it is
functioning properly and ready for use. Explain the X-ray procedure
to the patient to alleviate any concerns, ensuring they understand
the process and why it’s needed. Verify the patient’s identity, and
ensure they have the appropriate paperwork, including informed
consent forms if necessary. Ensure that the patient is properly
positioned and prepared for the procedure (e.g., removing metal
objects and gowns). Performing X-Ray Imaging : Position patients
correctly to obtain accurate images of the specific area of
interest, using proper positioning techniques and guidelines.
Operate X-ray machines to take images of bones, organs, tissues,
and other internal structures as requested by the physician. Adjust
the machine settings (e.g., exposure, radiation dose, and angle)
based on the body part being imaged, patient size, and medical
condition. Ensure the images meet diagnostic standards for clarity
and accuracy, making adjustments as needed. Communicate with
patients during the procedure, giving instructions (e.g., hold
still, breathe deeply, or hold your breath) to ensure clear and
accurate images. Patient Safety and Comfort : Ensure patient safety
during the procedure by following radiation safety protocols ,
including limiting exposure to radiation and using protective gear
(e.g., lead aprons) when necessary. Monitor the patient during the
procedure to ensure their comfort and provide reassurance,
especially if the procedure causes discomfort or anxiety. Ensure
that patients are positioned safely to avoid injury or discomfort
during the imaging process. Address any patient concerns or side
effects that may arise during or after the procedure. Image Quality
and Analysis : Review X-ray images to ensure they are of sufficient
quality for interpretation by a radiologist or physician. Confirm
that the images meet medical requirements, ensuring correct body
part alignment and appropriate exposure. If the images are unclear
or incomplete, repeat the procedure as needed, adjusting settings
or patient positioning. Provide preliminary assessments or
observations to the physician if required, within the scope of
practice. Post-Procedure Care : Assist the patient after the
procedure, ensuring they are stable and comfortable before leaving
the imaging area. Remove any protective lead aprons or coverings
from the patient. Provide post-procedure instructions, including
care for any potential side effects or follow-up requirements.
Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting : Perform routine
maintenance and checks on the X-ray equipment to ensure it is in
good working order and functioning properly. Ensure the imaging
room and equipment are clean and disinfected after each patient,
adhering to infection control protocols. Troubleshoot basic issues
with the X-ray machine, and report any equipment malfunctions or
concerns to the appropriate staff for repair or service.
Documentation and Record-Keeping : Document all relevant patient
information, procedures performed, and images captured in the
electronic health record (EHR) or imaging system. Ensure images are
properly labeled, filed, and stored in the system for future
reference and analysis by the physician. Maintain accurate logs of
X-ray procedures, equipment use, and any issues that arise during
operations. Collaboration with Medical Team : Work closely with
physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to
ensure the images are reviewed promptly and accurately. Communicate
effectively with the medical team about any issues related to image
quality or the need for additional imaging. Ensure that any
follow-up imaging or additional procedures are scheduled as needed.
Radiation Safety and Compliance : Adhere to established safety
protocols to minimize exposure to radiation for both the patient
and staff. Ensure the appropriate use of protective equipment
(e.g., lead shields, aprons, and thyroid collars) when necessary to
protect the patient and others in the vicinity. Comply with all
radiation safety standards , including guidelines for exposure
levels and safety measures specific to the facility. Professional
Development and Training : Stay current with advances in radiologic
technology , including improvements in X-ray imaging and new safety
protocols. Participate in continuing education programs, workshops,
or certification courses to maintain licensure and keep up with
industry standards. Assist in the training of new technologists,
students, or interns, offering guidance on the technical aspects of
imaging and patient care. Magnet Medical Job ID 32891598. Pay
