Examples of Radiologic Technology Objectives (Those listed in red are the required objectives for volunteers at Sutter Santa Rosa) • To "shadow" and observe an RT through daily duties to learn how these are carried out in accordance with hospital policies and philosophy. • To observe different radiographic positioning techniques and procedures, i.e. broken bones, Upper GI, etc. • To learn procedures for processing digital images or developing X-rays. • To observe the functions of the Radiologic Technologist in the operating room. • To help set up rooms before exams. • To learn the different equipment and different types of x-rays such as C.T. Scan, T-Spine, MRI, Ultrasound, and portable machines, etc. • To assist with transporting patients to and from Radiology. • To assist with moving patients from bed to gurney, etc. • To learn about the safety precautions needed for technologist and patients. • To observe how patients are prepared for x-rays. • To know what to look for on images and recognize incorrect techniques and good images from bad ones. • To know the flow of a patient and their records into, through and out of the imaging department. • To research and list methods of Universal Precautions used to protect technologists from communicable diseases. • To research proper body mechanics needed to avoid injury while moving patients. • To list three different contrast media used in the Medical Imaging Dept. and their uses. • List and define ten positioning terms used in Radiologic Technology. • List four ways to minimize the patient's dose of radiation exposure for medical x-rays. • List three ways to minimize the occupational exposure received by Radiologic Technologists while on the job. • List and define four units of measurement used with radiation exposure. • Learn how to inform pregnant patients of the risks of radiation to the fetus.
