What do Radiography Technologists do?
Radiologic technologists operate advanced imaging equipment, like X-ray, CT, and MRI scanners, to create images that help doctors diagnose and sometimes treat medical conditions.
Their duties include patient preparation and positioning, operating and maintaining the imaging equipment, ensuring patient safety by following protocols, and accurately documenting patient information and images.
What they do
Patient Care and Safety: Radiologic technologists explain procedures to patients, help them feel at ease, and ensure they are correctly positioned for the imaging exam.
They are also responsible for protecting themselves and patients from harmful radiation by using appropriate equipment and shielding.
Equipment Operation: They operate and maintain complex imaging machinery to perform various diagnostic tests. This requires technical proficiency with the machines and associated software.
Image Acquisition and Quality Control: Technologists position the patient and equipment to capture precise images, and they collaborate with physicians to review the photos and determine if additional scans are necessary.
Record Keeping: They maintain accurate patient records and ensure that images are stored correctly in systems such as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).
Specialization: Many technologists specialize in specific areas of medical imaging, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, or interventional radiology, which involves guiding catheters through blood vessels to perform procedures.
Work Environment: Radiologic technologists work in various settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, medical laboratories, and diagnostic imaging centers.
Essential Skills
Problem-Solving Skills: The capacity to adjust equipment and procedures to meet a patient’s specific needs and ensure the best possible image quality.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in operating and maintaining imaging equipment and associated software.
Attention to Detail: Meticulous care and focus are required to follow procedures and ensure accurate imaging results.
Communication Skills: The ability to explain complex procedures and interact with patients and medical staff tactfully and politely.
