I have over 7 years of experience operating both CT and X-ray equipment in a high-volume hospital setting. I am proficient in performing diagnostic imaging procedures, ensuring patient safety, and maintaining equipment. My expertise includes troubleshooting technical issues, optimizing imaging protocols, and adhering to radiation safety guidelines. I have also trained junior technologists, ensuring they follow best practices and deliver high-quality images for accurate diagnoses.

Patient safety is my top priority. I always verify patient identity, medical history, and procedure details before beginning. I use lead shielding and proper positioning to minimize radiation exposure. I communicate clearly with patients to ensure they understand the process and remain still. Additionally, I follow strict infection control protocols and monitor patients for any adverse reactions during and after the procedure.

I approach challenging patients with empathy and patience. I take time to explain the procedure in simple terms, addressing their concerns to build trust. For uncooperative patients, I use calming techniques and involve family members if necessary. If a patient is unable to remain still, I adjust imaging protocols or use immobilization devices to ensure accurate results while maintaining their comfort and dignity.

I stay current by attending industry conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and reading peer-reviewed journals. I also collaborate with radiologists and peers to discuss new techniques and technologies. Additionally, I actively engage with equipment vendors to learn about the latest advancements and ensure our facility leverages cutting-edge tools for improved patient care.

During a routine CT scan, I noticed inconsistent image quality. I immediately halted the procedure and performed a diagnostic check, identifying a calibration issue. I recalibrated the machine and ran test scans to confirm functionality before resuming patient imaging. I also documented the issue and reported it to the maintenance team to prevent future occurrences, ensuring minimal disruption to workflow and patient care.
