  • Coordinate with clinical staff, front desk, and referring physicians to support smooth scheduling, patient flow, and timely communication of results and follow-up recommendations. 
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and compliant imaging environment, including infection prevention, contrast media storage (if used), and radiation safety practices. 
  • Participate in quality improvement initiatives related to lung cancer screening metrics, image quality, radiation dose monitoring, and patient satisfaction.
