The technologist is responsible for patient safety, including pre-screening and radiation safety protocols when handling radioactive materials, while producing high-quality diagnostic PET/CT images. Duties also include effective communication with customers/radiologists and training new technologists, alongside troubleshooting scanner and peripheral equipment.
Our PRN PET/CT technologists use exceptional communication skills to connect with patients, explain the procedure and put them at ease. With a caring attitude and keen attention to detail, they ensure patient comfort, safety and satisfaction every step of the way. They show their technical competence by effectively interpreting physician orders/instructions and selecting appropriate software options and imaging parameters to produce the highest-quality PET/CT images/studies possible—enabling physicians to diagnose with pinpoint accuracy and treat with confidence. And, because our techs work in a variety of environments—a freestanding outpatient center, a mobile coach, or a hospital-based/inpatient facility—their flexibility allows them to deliver the absolute best imaging care at any access point.
