I have extensive experience with various digital radiography systems, including GE and Siemens models. I am proficient in using CR and DR systems, ensuring high-quality imaging with minimal radiation exposure. My experience includes troubleshooting technical issues, performing routine maintenance, and training junior staff on system operations.

Patient safety is paramount. I adhere strictly to radiation protection protocols, using lead aprons, thyroid collars, and collimation to minimize exposure. I also ensure that all equipment is functioning correctly and that patients are properly positioned to avoid unnecessary radiation. Additionally, I communicate clearly with patients about the procedure to alleviate any anxiety and ensure their cooperation.

Maintaining image quality involves several strategies. I regularly calibrate equipment, use optimal exposure settings, and ensure proper patient positioning. I also review each image for clarity and contrast, retaking images if necessary to ensure diagnostic quality. Collaborating with radiologists to understand their needs helps me refine my techniques and deliver the best possible images.

In challenging situations, I remain calm and professional. I actively listen to the patient's concerns, explain the procedure clearly, and reassure them about their safety. If a patient is uncooperative, I adapt my approach, using simpler language or involving a family member to help. My goal is to ensure the procedure is completed successfully while maintaining a positive patient experience.

When our department transitioned to a new PACS system, I took the initiative to learn it quickly. I attended training sessions, consulted manuals, and sought feedback from colleagues. Within a few weeks, I was able to train other staff members and troubleshoot common issues. This experience reinforced my ability to adapt to new technologies efficiently and effectively.
