Documentation and Record-Keeping: - Document all relevant patient information and scan results in the electronic health record (EHR), ensuring that records are complete and accurate. - Ensure that imaging data is properly labeled and uploaded into the system, and assist with reports or communications as needed. - Maintain logs of equipment usage, maintenance, and any issues encountered during procedures. 8. Radiation Safety and Protocols: - While MRI does not use ionizing radiation, ensure safety by following the guidelines for handling contrast agents and any equipment that could pose a risk to patients. - Adhere to radiation safety standards for other imaging technologies used in the department, such as when operating in proximity to X-ray or CT equipment. - Follow all established safety protocols, including magnetic field safety, to avoid accidents or injuries. 9.
