They independently perform or assist licensed practitioners in completing radiographic and fluoroscopic procedures. Radiologic Technologists prepare, administer, and document activities related to medications and radiation exposure in accordance with federal and state laws, regulations, or lawful institutional policies.

Job Duties

1. Ensure correct order is obtained, patient is properly identified and prepared for exam, and that clinical history is corroborated and appropriately documented while respecting confidentiality.
2. Utilize appropriate imaging protocols and optimize technical factors while maximizing patient safety, optimizing patient care, and applying principles of ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable).
3. Prepare and/or administer medications through vascular access sites as prescribed by a licensed practitioner.
4. Evaluate images for proper positioning and acceptable technical quality, verify archival storage and/or transfer of data, and perform post-processing if applicable.
