• Ensure proper use of lead aprons, thyroid shields, and protective barriers.
• Verify shielding integrity and take necessary precautions to prevent radiation leakage.
• Maintain exposure logs and radiation safety records.
• Support periodic radiation surveys, inspections, and compliance activities.

Zero Leakage & Safety Controls

• Confirm that imaging-room shielding and radiation warning signage are intact and compliant.
• Ensure unauthorized personnel are not exposed during imaging procedures.
• Strictly follow ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.
• Immediately report equipment malfunctions or suspected radiation leakage.
• Follow all prescribed safety procedures before, during, and after imaging.

Equipment Readiness & Quality Checks

• Conduct daily equipment warm-up and operational checks.
• Monitor equipment performance and identify technical issues promptly.
• Maintain calibration logs and preventive maintenance records.
• Coordinate with the BME/vendor service team for equipment faults and repairs.
• Ensure imaging equipment remains ready for routine clinical operations.

Doctor & Reporting Coordination

• Coordinate with radiologists and reporting partners to ensure timely image availability.
• Upload images promptly to the PACS/reporting system.
• Monitor report turnaround time and support defined SLA requirements.
• Proactively escalate reporting delays to the Centre Manager.
• Ensure proper coordination between imaging and reporting teams.

Documentation & Audit Readiness

• Maintain accurate digital imaging logs and compliance documentation.
• Keep AERB licenses, certificates, radiation records, and related documents audit ready.
• Maintain required exposure, TLD, equipment, and safety records.
• Participate in internal and external compliance audits.
• Ensure documentation is complete, accurate, and updated.

Key Performance Indicators

• Zero radiation safety violations.
• Zero unexplained radiation exposure or leakage incidents.
• 100% TLD compliance.
• Minimal repeat scans caused by technical errors.
• Report turnaround within the defined SLA.
• 100% regulatory documentation readiness.

Job Requirements Education & Qualification:

• Diploma or Degree in Radiography is mandatory.
• Valid registration as per applicable state norms.

Technical Knowledge

• Familiarity with AERB compliance is required.
• Practical knowledge of TLD usage and radiation monitoring.
• Understanding of radiation protection and ALARA principles.
• Familiarity with PACS and EMR systems.

Core Skills
