Background:
-
Operating diagnostic imaging equipment to produce contrast enhanced radiographs of heart and cardiovascular system (angio-cardiograms) during cardiac catheterization to aid Physician in diagnostic evaluation and treatment
-
Positioning and immobilizing patient on examining table, using head and shoulder braces, and following specified protocols
-
Entering technical factors determined by protocol such as amount and quality of radiation beam, and specified filming sequence into computer
-
Raising and lowering examining table and manipulating and positioning x-ray tube in response to instructions from Physician
-
Starting automatic injection of contrast medium into blood vessels of patient
-
Activate fluoroscope and 35 mm motion picture camera (cinefluorography) to produce images that assist Physician in guiding catheter through cardiovascular system of patient
-
Observing gauges, recorder, and video screens of multi-channel data analysis system that indicate blood pressure, cardiac output, and respiration during imaging of cardiovascular system
-
Alerting Physician to changes in patient responses. May assist Physician in interventional procedures, such as instilling enzymes or inserting balloon in blood vessels to remove plaque or other blockage
