• Explain examination procedures clearly to patients and address questions or concerns.
• Provide compassionate, respectful, and patient-centered care throughout the imaging process.
• Position patients accurately and safely to obtain diagnostic-quality images.
• Select appropriate imaging techniques, exposure factors, protocols, and equipment settings within professional scope.
• Operate radiographic and associated imaging equipment safely and effectively.
• Perform examinations according to departmental protocols and radiologist requirements.
• Evaluate images for technical quality, positioning, coverage, artifacts, and diagnostic adequacy.
• Repeat examinations only when clinically justified and in accordance with radiation-safety principles.
• Recognize technically inadequate or potentially significant findings and escalate appropriately to the radiologist or responsible clinician.
• Support examinations involving trauma, emergency, inpatient, outpatient, pediatric, elderly, mobility-limited, or otherwise vulnerable patients.
• Adapt imaging techniques to patient condition, mobility, clinical urgency, and examination requirements.
• Assist safely with patient transfers, positioning, immobilization, and movement when required.
• Coordinate with nurses, physicians, radiologists, and other clinical teams for complex or urgent examinations.
• Support mobile and bedside imaging services where applicable.
• Participate in emergency and after-hours imaging services according to departmental requirements.
• Maintain effective workflow across examination rooms and imaging areas.
• Prioritize examinations according to clinical urgency and established departmental procedures.
• Monitor patient waiting times, examination turnaround times, and workflow bottlenecks.
• Ensure accurate and timely entry of examination information into relevant clinical and imaging systems.
• Maintain accurate patient, examination, and imaging records.
• Ensure images are correctly labeled, processed, stored, and transmitted to the appropriate systems.
• Work effectively with PACS, RIS, electronic medical records, and other imaging information systems.
• Ensure appropriate documentation of contrast administration and related procedures where applicable.
• Follow established procedures for contrast safety, screening, administration, monitoring, and adverse-event escalation where within scope.
• Monitor patients for signs of adverse reactions during and after applicable imaging procedures.
• Respond appropriately to clinical deterioration or emergencies and activate relevant emergency procedures.
• Maintain radiation protection principles for patients, staff, visitors, and members of the public.
• Apply the principles of justification, optimization, and dose minimization to radiographic examinations.
• Use appropriate shielding, positioning, exposure techniques, and other radiation-protection measures where applicable.
• Monitor radiation dose indicators and investigate unusual or excessive exposures according to departmental procedures.
• Participate in radiation-safety audits, reviews, and improvement initiatives.
• Comply with applicable radiation-protection legislation, professional standards, and institutional policies.
• Perform routine equipment checks and report equipment faults, defects, or performance concerns promptly.
• Participate in quality-control and quality-assurance programs for imaging equipment.
• Coordinate with Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, vendors, and technical teams regarding equipment performance.
• Ensure imaging rooms, accessories, positioning aids, and related equipment are clean, safe, and operational.
• Follow infection-prevention and control procedures for imaging equipment and patient-contact surfaces.
• Apply appropriate cleaning and disinfection procedures between examinations.
• Maintain appropriate standards for patient privacy, dignity, confidentiality, and information security.
• Report incidents, near misses, equipment failures, patient-safety concerns, and other relevant events through established systems.
• Participate in incident investigations, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action activities where required.
• Support clinical audits and quality-improvement programs within the imaging department.
• Monitor compliance with departmental SOPs, imaging protocols, quality standards, and professional requirements.
• Review and contribute to updates of imaging protocols, procedures, checklists, and technical guidelines.
• Support the introduction and evaluation of new imaging protocols, technologies, and equipment.
