*Under the general direction of the department leader and the clinical direction of the Radiologist, perform radiographic procedures at a technical level not requiring constant supervision of technical detail.  Perform a variety of technical procedures as directed by a physician, serving patients of all ages, and requiring independent judgment to apply ionizing radiation for radiological diagnosis.  The majority of patients will be from the adult and geriatric age groups.  Perform a variety of patient contact duties that may include educating patients/families to safety protocols and to routine diagnostic procedures. Utilize the Meditech Admissions and Radiology Modules for patient processing.  Employ (CR) Computerized Radiography for digital capture of diagnostic images.  Ensure that images are archived properly in Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (SRH) PACS and efficiently transmitted to Teleradiology for interpretation.  Radiographic equipment is operated according to established guidelines. Diagnostic radiology services are provided for patients of all ages applying the principals of radiation protection and in adherence to department policy and procedure. Patient requests are processed in Meditech Radiology Module and required information systems per established guidelines. Patient care and education is provided for performance of procedures.
