The practice of radiography is performed by radiologic technologists responsible for the administration of ionizing radiation to humans of all ages (newborn to geriatric) for diagnostic, therapeutic, or research purposes. A radiographer performs radiographic procedures and related techniques, producing images at the request of and for interpretation by a licensed independent practitioner. Radiography integrates scientific knowledge, technical skills, patient interaction and compassionate care resulting in diagnostic information.

A radiographer recognizes patient conditions essential for successful completion of a procedure.

• Demonstrate understanding of human anatomy, physiology, pathology, and medical terminology.
• Maintain a high degree of accuracy in radiographic positioning and exposure technique.
• Possess, utilize, and maintain knowledge of radiation protection and safety.
• Serve as the primary liaison between patients, licensed independent practitioners, and other members of the support team.
• Maintain sensitivity to the physical and emotional needs of patients through communication, assessment, monitoring, and care skills.
• Participate in quality improvement processes and continuous assessment of performance.
• Think critically and use independent, professional, and ethical judgment in all aspects of work.
• Engage in continuing education to enhance patient care, public education, knowledge, and technical competence.
• Perform radiographic procedures and determine radiographic exposure factors.
• Assist LIP with fluoroscopic and specialized interventional radiographic procedures; perform non-interpretive fluoroscopic procedures as prescribed by a LIP.
• Apply patient safety principles during all procedures, including patient transport.
• Receive, relay, and document verbal, written, and electronic imaging orders in the patient’s medical record.
• Corroborate patient clinical history with the ordered procedure and ensure information is documented for use by a LIP.
• Verify informed consent and assume responsibility for patient needs before, during, and after procedures.
• Prepare patients for procedures and apply ALARA principles to minimize exposure to patient, self, and others.
• Perform venipuncture and start/maintain intravenous access per procedural protocol based on imaging orders from a LIP.
• Identify, prepare, and/or administer medications generally associated with diagnostic imaging procedures as prescribed by a LIP.
• Evaluate images for technical quality and ensure proper identification is recorded.
• Identify and escalate emergency situations and manage until the appropriate LIP, EMS, MERT, RRT, or Code Team arrives to assume control.
• Provide patient education related to imaging procedures.
• Educate, mentor, and provide general oversight of students and other learners in the Radiology environment.
