CT Radiographer

CT Radiographers are professionals who use computerized tomography equipment to capture diagnostic images of patients' internal structures. They play a crucial role in ensuring accurate positioning of patients and closely monitoring them during CT scans. In addition to these primary responsibilities, CT Radiographers also perform regular warm-up sequences on the CT scanner and sterilize radiologic equipment to maintain patient safety. They are skilled in correctly interpreting doctors' written scanning instructions and administering radiocontrast agents to enhance the visibility of internal organs and tissues. Evaluating CT scans for technical quality and explaining scanning procedures to patients are also part of their role.
