• Provide clear instructions and reassurance to patients before, during, and after procedures.
• Monitor patients during examinations and respond appropriately to changes in condition or distress.
• Escalate clinically significant observations or concerns to the appropriate healthcare professional.
• Ensure images are correctly identified, labeled, processed, and transferred to the appropriate imaging system.
• Review images for positioning, exposure, artifacts, anatomy coverage, and overall technical quality.
• Repeat examinations only when clinically and technically justified.
• Maintain appropriate image-quality standards and identify factors affecting diagnostic quality.
• Support radiologists and physicians by ensuring required imaging views and examinations are completed according to protocol.
• Assist with specialized imaging procedures within approved scope, training, and competency.
• Support mobile and portable radiography services where applicable.
• Perform imaging examinations in emergency departments, inpatient areas, operating rooms, intensive-care environments, or other clinical locations as required.
• Apply appropriate infection-prevention and control procedures during imaging examinations.
• Clean and disinfect equipment and patient-contact surfaces according to approved procedures.
• Follow appropriate precautions when imaging patients with infectious or isolation requirements.
• Maintain strict radiation-safety practices for patients, staff, visitors, and the wider clinical environment.
• Apply the principles of justification, optimization, and dose minimization to radiographic procedures.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment and radiation-protection devices.
• Monitor radiation exposure and follow established radiation-monitoring requirements.
• Ensure radiation warning systems, shielding, barriers, and protective equipment are appropriately maintained and used.
• Report radiation-safety concerns, equipment faults, incidents, and near misses promptly.
• Participate in radiation-safety audits, quality-assurance programs, and dose-monitoring initiatives.
• Conduct routine equipment checks and identify technical problems affecting imaging performance.
• Coordinate with Biomedical Engineering and equipment vendors regarding maintenance, calibration, servicing, and repairs.
• Remove defective or unsafe equipment from clinical use according to established procedures.
• Maintain accurate equipment logs, quality-control records, examination records, and incident documentation.
• Participate in routine quality-control and image-quality assurance activities.
• Monitor reject and repeat-image rates and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Analyze imaging-quality trends and implement corrective actions where required.
• Ensure radiographic procedures comply with applicable healthcare regulations, professional standards, accreditation requirements, and organizational policies.
• Support internal and external inspections, audits, accreditation reviews, and regulatory assessments.
• Maintain appropriate clinical documentation and ensure examination records are complete and accurate.
• Support the development, review, and implementation of radiography protocols, SOPs, and clinical guidelines.
• Contribute to protocol optimization and improvements in imaging workflows.
• Participate in clinical audits, service evaluations, research projects, and evidence-based improvement initiatives.
• Evaluate new radiographic technologies, equipment, software, and imaging techniques.
• Support implementation and validation of new imaging systems and workflows.
• Train, supervise, and mentor junior radiographers, radiography assistants, students, and other imaging personnel.
• Conduct competency assessments and provide technical guidance to team members.
• Deliver training on imaging techniques, patient positioning, radiation safety, infection control, and equipment use.
• Lead or support daily radiography team briefings and operational coordination.
• Assist with workload allocation, examination prioritization, staffing coordination, and service continuity.
• Support emergency imaging coverage and respond appropriately to urgent clinical requirements.
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and recommend improvements to reduce patient waiting times.
• Monitor examination volumes, turnaround times, patient flow, and service performance.
• Promote respectful, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and patient-centered care.
• Handle patient concerns and complaints professionally and escalate issues when appropriate.
• Maintain patient confidentiality and protect clinical information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
• Maintain professional competence through continuing education, clinical training, and professional development.
