You will conduct ordered diagnostic X-ray studies, prepare and position patients, and assess image quality before submitting examinations for interpretation by authorized healthcare professionals. The role focuses on X-ray imaging within the available facility capabilities. You will work closely with clinical personnel and support imaging equipment readiness, quality control, and the safe flow of diagnostic information.
The diagnostic service is conventional X-ray imaging rather than a multi-modality post. Each examination calls for appropriate technique selection, image review, attention to unnecessary radiation exposure, and accurate communication with the requesting clinician. You will also participate in established imaging safety and quality processes and report equipment concerns before they compromise service readiness. Patient-centered communication and safe handling of examination information are part of each study.
