Perform high-quality PET/CT imaging studies while ensuring patient safety and radiation regulation compliance. Responsibilities include interpreting physician orders, troubleshooting equipment, and training new technologists across various clinical environments.
Our 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.
