DIGITAL MOBILE X-RAY TECHNICIAN

We have healthcare professional who operates portable X-ray equipment to take medical images, typically at a patient's bedside or in various settings outside of traditional radiology departments. These technicians are responsible for performing X-ray procedures using digital imaging technology, which is more efficient and produces higher-quality images compared to traditional film-based methods.  They work alongside doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to assist in diagnosing and treating patients. Communication is essential, especially when performing procedures in non-clinical settings like patient homes or long-term care facilities. They follow strict protocols to ensure that patients are exposed to the least amount of radiation necessary, adhering to safety guidelines and wearing protective gear as needed.

The technician uses a digital mobile X-ray machine, which is a portable, compact device that can be brought directly to patients in their homes. With digital systems, the technician can immediately view the images on a screen to assess if they are of good quality and make adjustments if needed. Digital images are immediately available and can be adjusted for optimal quality. The technician ensures that the images are clear, properly exposed, and free from artifacts or errors that could affect diagnosis. After taking the X-ray images, the technician ensures they are properly labeled with the patient's information and uploaded to a hospital or clinic’s radiology system (Picture Archiving and Communication System, or PACS) for review by a radiologist.
