What does the day look like?
You start with the patient: check identity, verify kidney labs (eGFR/creatinine), ask about pregnancy and past contrast allergy, then place an IV cannula with an 18-gauge or 20-gauge needle, usually in the arm. You position the patient with laser lights on scanners such as GE Revolution/Optima, Siemens SOMATOM, Philips Brilliance/Incisive or Canon Aquilion, and select the protocol: CT Pulmonary Angiogram, trauma pan-scan, CT Brain or CT Abdomen-Pelvis. You program a Bayer Medrad Stellant or Ulrich Medical dual-head power injector at up to 5 ml/s and watch for extravasation or anaphylactic shock.
About 35% of the day is direct patient handling, 40% is console scanning and post-processing with MPR, MIP and 3D volume rendering into PACS and RIS, and 25% is documentation, daily QA phantom calibration and team coordination. The standard week is 37.5 hours, but emergency cover is 24/7 with 12-hour day and night rotations, weekend rosters and on-call trauma shifts.
