• Prepare and position patients for CT exams, maintaining privacy, comfort, and dignity throughout the procedure.
• Demonstrate age-appropriate care and adapt communication and exam techniques for each patient population.

• Respond effectively in emergency situations and assist with maintaining life support equipment and crash cart readiness.

Perform High-Quality CT Imaging

• Independently perform a wide range of CT exams according to department protocols and physician orders.

• Review images for technical and clinical adequacy prior to releasing patients; repeat images when necessary.
• Demonstrate proficiency with contrast administration, including operation of power injectors, IV access/venipuncture, and post-contrast patient monitoring.

Own the Procedure Workflow

• Use critical thinking to clarify ambiguous, incomplete, or questionable orders before proceeding.
• Engage patients and families with clear, empathetic communication – explain the purpose, steps, and expectations of each exam to reduce anxiety and improve cooperation.

• Report equipment malfunctions.
• Maintain equipment and exam rooms per infection prevention standards and the departmental cleaning schedule.
• Operate all CT department workstations, including image post-processing, 3D reconstructions (where applicable), and pushing/retrieving images.

Documentation, Education & Communication

• Provide clear preparatory instructions and explanations to patients prior to procedures, using AIDET (Acknowledge, Introduce, Discuss, Explain, Thank) with patients and families.
• Address questions, concerns, and contraindications, and involve the radiologist or ordering provider when additional clarification is needed.
• Accurately complete all required documentation in the electronic systems (RIS, PACS, EMR) using concise and appropriate terminology.
• Read and act on departmental communications (including email) and complete mandatory hospital and departmental education within deadlines.
• Participate in orientation, mentoring, and on-the-job training for new team members and students.

Quality, Safety & Regulatory Readiness

• Consistently produce diagnostic-quality images.
• Send studies to PACS; ensure exams are correctly completed in RIS and reconciled with PACS.
• Support teleradiology workflows.
• Maintain Joint Commission and other regulatory standards through safe practice, accurate documentation, and readiness for survey at all times.

Operational Excellence & Teamwork

• Restock linens, supplies, and contrast; maintain a clean, organized, and safe department environment.
• Safely transport and assist patients on and off the procedure table, using appropriate ergonomics and support devices.
• Perform patient charging activities accurately on the day services are rendered.
• Apply shielding, immobilization, and supportive devices to enhance safety and image quality.
• Collaborate with peers, radiologists, nursing, and other departments to prioritize and coordinate patient flow.
• Participate in call, weekend, and holiday coverage as scheduled and flex hours to support departmental needs.
