What does the day look like?
Your day begins by reviewing physician orders, screening patients for contraindications like pacemakers or pregnancy, and positioning them precisely on digital X-ray, CT, or MRI exam tables. You calculate radiation parameters following ALARA protocols, insert IV lines for power-injected contrast scans, operate the console to acquire scans, verify image quality, and route datasets across hospital networks using PACS, RIS, and DICOM systems.
Direct scanner operation and physical positioning take up only 20% to 25% of your shift. Around 40% to 50% of the day involves prepping and calming anxious patients, physically transferring immobile trauma patients from gurneys to scanning beds, and sanitising equipment between scans. The remaining 25% to 30% is spent entering metadata into RIS/PACS, logging radiation doses, and running daily calibration QC phantoms. Expect 36 to 40 hours per week across rotating 8-hour or 12-hour shifts, night duties, and on-call trauma rotations. You must wear 0.5 mm lead aprons during fluoroscopy and carry a personal TLD dosimeter badge at all times.
