Expertise
Any and all kinds pertaining to the field of Diagnostic Radiological Technology which includes all the modalities such as general Radiography procedures, ER, OR, CT, MRI, Special procedures, Ultrasound, as well as patient care and risk management issues. People always ask me over the years about the nature of their exams and I have to advise them accordingly. Most doctors do not take the time to explain x-ray examinations to their patients and that is where I come in. I must duly inform them to get their consent before I proceed with their procedures.
