CT Technologist

The CT Technologist performs computer tomography procedures and related techniques. The role involves producing sectional and three-dimensional images for interpretation and assisting with interventional and therapeutic procedures. The technologist performs complex CT procedures. Professional judgment is used when reviewing and obtaining patient clinical history for procedures. Information must be documented and scanned into PACS. The technologist prepares, screens, and reviews the accuracy of the contrast questionnaire with the patient and/or family member. The questionnaire must be scanned into the electronic health record system. Identifying and/or administering contrast media related to CT exams as prescribed by a licensed practitioner is essential. Reviewing the patient prescription to verify the appropriateness of the exam is required. If incorrect, the technologist communicates with the radiologist and referring physician to obtain additional clinical information or a new prescription. Calling physicians to clarify prescriptions in accordance with appropriate CT protocols is the responsibility of the technologist. Verifying insurance authorized exam scripts and sending exam modification forms for re-verification is required. Obtaining outside studies and scheduling them is essential to ensure that comparisons can be made by radiologists. Providing exam copies to the patient and requesting physician and/or family member is a key duty. The technologist evaluates radiographs using the PACS system to ensure proper identification and diagnostic value. Consistent and appropriate techniques are used to gather relevant information from medical records and healthcare providers. The collection of information is determined by the patient's needs or condition. The technologist determines whether the patient has been appropriately prepared for the procedure. Preparing the patient for scanning involves tasks like shielding and using immobilization devices. Determining the appropriate type and dose of contrast to be administered is required. Accurate explanations and instructions must be provided at an appropriate level for patient understanding. Addressing and documenting patient questions and concerns is important. Performing venipuncture and IV maintenance procedures is essential per established guidelines. Monitoring the patient's physical condition for adverse reactions during the procedure is mandatory. The technologist is responsible for scheduled shifts, including holidays and weekends. Adhering to attendance and punctuality standards is required. The physical demands include lifting a minimum of 25 lbs. and standing for a minimum of 6 hours a day. Identifying the needs of the patient population served and delivering care specific to those needs is crucial. Communicating effectively with the patient, parent, and/or primary caregiver is necessary. The technologist adheres to organizational competencies and standards of behavior.
