Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Imaging equipment positioning and control adjustments — perform routinely and independently for standard projections across multiple body regions in a busy outpatient clinic.
  • Patient setup for varied examination types — execute with minimal oversight, modifying positioning techniques for patients with limited mobility in an inpatient hospital unit.
  • Radiation protection protocols and compliance documentation — implement consistently and verify adherence for each procedure according to regulatory standards in a licensed facility.
  • Physician orders and clinical requisitions — interpret independently across a range of modality types to prioritize and schedule daily imaging workloads.
  • Patient monitoring during scans — recognize and respond to early signs of distress or adverse contrast reactions, notifying the radiologist promptly in a clinical setting.
  • Digital x-ray and fluoroscopic image quality — evaluate completed studies against diagnostic criteria and repeat suboptimal images with corrected technique before submission.
  • Contrast agent and radiopharmaceutical preparation — prepare accurately under radiologist direction, following aseptic technique and dosing protocols in a procedure room.
  • Time management across concurrent imaging requests — coordinate patient throughput and equipment scheduling to meet department productivity targets in a multi-room suite.
  • Categorization and medical imaging software — use proficiently to archive, retrieve, and route studies through PACS and RIS systems within established workflow timelines.
  • Patient communication for sensitive or anxious individuals — apply social perceptiveness and empathy to tailor explanations and reduce procedure-related anxiety in diverse patient populations.
