Patient Care

Patient care in radiology focuses on communication, safety, comfort, and clinical responsibility during imaging procedures. Students learn how to assess patient needs, verify identity, obtain history, explain procedures, monitor vital signs, and respond to medical emergencies. Effective patient care improves outcomes, reduces anxiety, and ensures safe imaging practices.

To build a strong foundation, begin with Contrast Media to understand screening and monitoring for contrast reactions. Review Radiation Safety to learn how to protect patients and staff. Students should also study Radiographic Positioning to understand how patient comfort and communication improve positioning accuracy.

Summary: Patient care ensures safety, comfort, and effective communication during imaging procedures. Strengthen your understanding by reviewing Contrast Media, learning protection strategies in Radiation Safety, and applying communication skills in Radiographic Positioning.
