Radiology & Imaging Nursing

Radiology and imaging nursing is a specialized field focused on providing care to patients undergoing diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. Nurses in this area play a crucial role in preparing patients for these procedures, ensuring their safety and comfort, and educating them about what to expect. They monitor patients before, during, and after imaging studies, managing any concerns or complications that may arise. With a strong understanding of imaging technologies and radiation safety practices, radiology nurses collaborate closely with radiologists and other healthcare professionals to interpret results and develop comprehensive care plans. Additionally, they may assist in interventional radiology procedures, supporting minimally invasive treatments guided by imaging technology. Overall, radiology and imaging nursing is essential for delivering high-quality patient care and promoting positive outcomes in diagnostic imaging.
