I have over five years of hands-on experience operating CT, MRI, and Angio equipment. My expertise includes setting up machines, positioning patients correctly, and ensuring high-quality imaging. I am proficient in troubleshooting technical issues and maintaining equipment to meet safety standards. My experience also involves working closely with radiologists to optimize imaging protocols and ensure accurate diagnoses.

Patient safety is my top priority. I always verify patient identity and procedure details before starting. I ensure proper shielding and positioning to minimize radiation exposure. I also monitor patients for any adverse reactions, especially during contrast-enhanced studies. Clear communication and thorough patient education about the procedure help alleviate anxiety and ensure compliance with safety protocols.

I approach challenging patients with empathy and patience. For claustrophobic patients, I explain the procedure in detail and offer reassurance. I use techniques like guided breathing or music to help them relax. For anxious patients, I maintain a calm demeanor and provide constant communication. If necessary, I collaborate with the healthcare team to explore sedation options to ensure a smooth imaging process.

I ensure image quality by calibrating equipment regularly and following established imaging protocols. I carefully position patients and adjust settings to capture the best possible images. I also review images in real-time to identify any artifacts or errors and retake images if necessary. Collaborating with radiologists to refine techniques and staying updated on advancements in imaging technology further enhances accuracy.

I stay current by attending industry conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and reading peer-reviewed journals. I also engage in online forums and webinars to learn about new techniques and technologies. Networking with peers and collaborating with vendors for equipment updates ensures I remain knowledgeable about the latest advancements, which I then apply to improve patient care and imaging outcomes.
