Prepares or gets patients prepared by Nurse for ray exposure.Regulates duration and intensity of exposure by adjusting machines and exposing patients to raysas directed by the Radiologist. Positions patient on the X-ray couch to ensure correct exposureof the part of the body required to be X-rayed and for ray exposure taking care to protect thepatient and themselves from harmful exposure to X-ray. Adjusts X-ray tube at a proper distanceand angle, by rotating the pivot, etc. to ensure centering of tube on part of the body to be Xrayed. Regulates controls of X-ray machine or therapy equipment, for duration, intensity ofexposure and exposes film or patient to rays as directed by the Radiologist. Removes cassettewith exposed film and hands over to Dark Room Assistant where available for developing fixing,washing, Labelling (date and name of patient) etc. Mixes, develops, fixes etc. and processes Xray films in accordance with techniques and instruction of Radiologist. Keeps records of raw andexposed films, spare parts and of patients X-rayed or treated. May mix developers and processfilm in accordance with prescribed techniques.Reference NCO-2015:(i)(ii)3211.0101 –Radiology Technician3211.0100– X-ray Technician6
