DepartmentDiagnostic Radiology
Job Summary
Under the direction of a radiologist, performs general radiographic
examinations at a technical level not requiring constant supervision.
Performs a variety of technical imaging procedures that entail application of
ionizing radiation; therefore, prudent judgment, strong technical
skills, and commitment to patient safety are considered requisite
professional characteristics for individuals assuming the position as a
general radiologic technologist.
Essential Functions:
Performs high quality general radiographic/fluoroscopic imaging studies by
selecting specific software parameters that will produce a quality image for
use by radiologists in their determination of a diagnosis. To provide the
necessary data for radiologists to interpret images, the technologist scans
all relevant clinical information into the PACS, assigns prioritization box
for the radiologists' worklist, and then transmits current (and
comparison images, when applicable) to the PACS. These activities must be
completed immediately following examination completion, not to exceed 1
hour. Prepares and assists in administering contrast agents and determines
any potential allergies to ensure compliance with departmental practices.
