In one instance, I assisted in a CT scan where the patient had severe claustrophobia. The challenge was to ensure the patient remained still for accurate imaging. I overcame this by engaging the patient in conversation, explaining each step, and using a blanket to provide a sense of security. This helped the patient relax and the procedure was completed successfully.

I follow the manufacturer's guidelines and the facility's protocols for equipment maintenance and calibration. This includes regular checks, cleaning, and scheduling preventive maintenance. I also document all maintenance activities and report any issues immediately to ensure the equipment remains in optimal condition.

I prioritize clear communication with the patient, explaining each step of the procedure and addressing any concerns. I also ensure the patient is positioned comfortably and securely. For pediatric patients, I use age-appropriate language and distractions like toys or music to reduce anxiety.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations and the facility's confidentiality policies. This includes ensuring that patient information is not discussed in public areas, using secure methods for data storage, and only accessing patient information when necessary for the procedure.

I have experience with a variety of imaging equipment, including X-ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound machines. I am familiar with their operational procedures, safety protocols, and troubleshooting common issues. My experience allows me to assist in a wide range of imaging procedures efficiently and effectively.
