I have over 10 years of experience working with various MRI systems, including GE, Siemens, and Philips. I conduct regular maintenance checks, calibrate the equipment as per the manufacturer's guidelines, and ensure all safety protocols are followed. I also train staff on proper usage and troubleshooting common issues to minimize downtime.

I address claustrophobia by explaining the procedure in detail, providing reassurance, and offering a mirror to help the patient see beyond the machine. If necessary, I administer mild sedation under a physician's supervision. I also ensure the room is well-lit and the environment is as comfortable as possible.

I implement rigorous quality control measures, including daily image quality checks and regular phantom scans. I also ensure that all staff are trained in the latest imaging techniques and protocols. Additionally, I review each scan for clarity and accuracy before it is sent to the radiologist.

I conduct regular performance reviews, provide ongoing training, and foster a collaborative team environment. I set clear expectations and provide feedback to help each technologist improve. I also encourage open communication and address any issues promptly to maintain high standards of performance.

In a previous role, there was a conflict between two technologists over scheduling. I mediated by listening to both sides, identifying the root cause, and finding a compromise that respected both their needs and the department's workflow. I also implemented a more transparent scheduling system to prevent future conflicts.
