X-ray Technologist extern with experience completing x-ray examinations while also supporting patients and technicians. Skilled in patient prep, positioning and transfers, with knowledge of x-ray equipment, positioning, exams and image critique. Works efficiently while staying organized, with a positive attitude to complete tasks. Currently pursuing a degree in radiography to further develop skills in the field, and to provide high-quality patient care.
During my externship, I actively perform X-ray exams, ensuring that patients are prepped properly and that good positioning and image quality are met. I prepare and position patients for their exams, assisting them if needed to ensure patient safety. My knowledge of the X-ray equipment allows me to operate it, and adjust it accordingly. Additionally, I assist other techs to perform exams. While doing these things, I continue to expand my skills and experience in the role of an X-ray technologist.
As an Imaging Aide, I transport patients, draw up contrast, stock supplies and linens, switch around tables, and set up for the next scan. I also enter paperwork into the computer and fill out screening forms for our MRI patients. Overall, I assist our patients and techs with anything they may need.
