      Entry Level

      "I know that a quality image comes down to how the unit is set up and positioned over the patient. To obtain the best images, I learned that giving clear instructions to the patient is also extremely importantly. During my time in tech school, I was fortunate enough to get quite a bit of hands on experience with a couple of different units to get to learn how they work and take the best images. I am very confident in my ability to learn any new units that you may work with here."

      Answer Example

      "A quality image begins with the order from the physician being detailed with what image is needed. As long as I know that, I know the proper settings for the unit and how to place the patient properly for the highest quality image. With our digital images, I can ensure that the image will be suitable for the physician and if an image doesn't come out as expected, I can re-position the patient and adjust settings to re-shoot the image."

      Experienced

      "A quality image is the product of positioning the patient in the correct position while having the x-ray unit on the correct image settings. The patient positioning starts with me instructing the patient on where to be on the table while stressing the need to hold still. During this time, I usually make small talk with them to help keep them at ease. Then, with all of my experience taking images all over the body, I position the unit and snap the images that are needed by the radiologist. The group of radiologists that I currently work with have commended me for the consistent images I am able to produce."
