In my previous role, I encountered a patient with a complex aneurysm that required precise imaging and intervention. The challenge was to maintain steady imaging while ensuring the patient's comfort and safety. I successfully navigated this by using advanced imaging techniques and collaborating closely with the surgical team to ensure real-time adjustments. This experience honed my ability to handle high-pressure situations and reinforced the importance of clear communication and technical proficiency.

Ensuring patient safety is paramount. I meticulously follow all protocols, from pre-procedure preparation to post-procedure monitoring. This includes verifying patient identity, explaining the procedure, and addressing any concerns. During the procedure, I maintain constant vigilance, ensuring equipment is functioning correctly and that the patient's vital signs are stable. Post-procedure, I monitor the patient for any complications and ensure they understand follow-up care instructions.

I am particularly excited about the integration of AI and machine learning in imaging and procedural guidance. These technologies can enhance precision and reduce procedural time, potentially minimizing patient exposure to radiation and contrast agents. Additionally, advancements in 3D imaging and navigation systems are revolutionizing how we visualize and access delicate brain structures, making procedures safer and more effective.

Handling stress and pressure is about preparation and mindset. I ensure I am well-prepared by reviewing all patient data and procedure details beforehand. During the procedure, I stay focused, maintaining a calm demeanor to influence a positive environment. I also rely on my team, communicating clearly and frequently to manage any unexpected situations. This approach helps me maintain composure and make informed decisions even under pressure.

I have extensive experience with a range of neuro interventional radiology equipment, including biplane and single-plane angiography systems, fluoroscopy units, and various catheters and stents. I am proficient in using advanced imaging software for 3D reconstruction and navigation. My experience also includes working with robotic systems for precise catheter placement. This diverse exposure has equipped me with the skills to adapt to new technologies and effectively utilize them in clinical settings.
