Jobdetails

Stellenbeschreibung:

Operates imaging equipment (such as X-ray, CT, and MRI machines) to perform diagnostic scans on patients. Works in hospitals or imaging centers to produce high-quality radiographs or other images as requested by physicians, while ensuring patient safety and comfort, especially concerning radiation protection and proper positioning.

Aufgabenbereich:

Responsible for reviewing radiology orders and preparing patients for imaging procedures (verifying identity, explaining the process, shielding as needed). Positions patients correctly to capture the required views and adjusts equipment settings (voltage, exposure time) to optimize image quality while minimizing radiation dose. Follows all safety protocols, including wearing protective gear and monitoring exposure levels. After acquiring images, check them for clarity and accuracy, then digitally archive them and communicate with radiologists for interpretation. Maintains equipment by checking for proper function and coordinates with medical physicists or service engineers for routine calibration and maintenance.

Bildungsanforderungen:

Completed MTRA training program and certification (Med.-techn. Radiologieassistent). Knowledge of anatomy, radiographic positioning, and radiation safety regulations (such as the German RöV). Continuing education to keep up with new imaging techniques or equipment (e.g., digital radiography, advanced MRI sequences).

Erfahrung: Mid-Level

Kernaufgaben:

Perform X-rays (chest, skeletal surveys, etc.), ensuring no motion blur; assist radiologists during fluoroscopy or angiography procedures by preparing contrast media and monitoring patient status; conduct CT scans including administering IV contrast when necessary; operate MRI scanner, input correct protocols and observe patients (especially if sedation is used); keep logs of exposure doses and patient data as required by law; provide emergency imaging in trauma situations quickly and competently as part of the acute care team.
