What does the day look like?
You bring patients into the scan room, check their identity, screen for implants and contrast risks, fit lead aprons, and position the body on the table. You set the exposure factors (kVp, mAs), move the tube and detector into place, and start the scan from a Siemens Healthineers syngo, GE Healthcare Revolution/Optima, or Philips Ingenia console. You help with oral or intravenous contrast, watch the cannula, and monitor for allergic reactions under a radiologist. Then you adjust window/level, check the images, and send the DICOM series to PACS and RIS.
The job is not 85% console work. About 40% is physical patient handling such as lifting, sliding patients from stretchers, and positioning injured or immobile people. About 30% is checks, infection control between patients, and DICOM/RIS data entry. About 30% is machine operation and radiation safety. You work in hospital imaging suites, emergency trauma rooms, and mobile fluoroscopy units in operating theatres. Shifts rotate across days, evenings, and 12-hour nights, with 24/7 on-call cover for emergency neuro and trauma cases.
