   • Observe patients during the procedure and communicate any discomfort or needs to the healthcare team.
   • Provide support and reassurance to patients who may feel anxious about the procedure, particularly in specialized imaging situations such as obstetrics or cardiology.

4. Image Evaluation and Documentation :

   • Review images for clarity and completeness before submitting them for interpretation by a physician or radiologist.
   • Record patient information, exam details, and diagnostic images into the hospital or clinic’s electronic health record (EHR) system.

5. Collaboration with Medical Team :

7. Patient Education :

   • Provide patients with pre- and post-exam instructions, including any necessary follow-up care or referrals.
