• Perform minor procedures such as shunt adjustments, staple removal, and suture removal as needed.

• Respond to rapid response and code blue situations as part of the care team.

Collaboration and Communication

• Serve as a clinical resource and consultant to technologists, nurses, scheduling staff, and other departments regarding patient care, MRI appropriateness, and imaging protocols.
