Takes all required eye films for the purpose of locating foreign bodies such as glass shrapnel etc.
• Responsible for properly arriving printing the radiology worksheet departing the patients electronic medical record and transfer of the scan to the medical Picture Archival Communication Systems (PACS) for review by the radiologist and responsible for the Quality Control Assessment and approval before the release of the patient and transfer of the scan.

• Knowledge of radiographic equipment to ascertain if malfunction or safety hazard is present and to ensure proper maintenance performed.
• Knowledge of anatomy and physiology such as the structure location and function of major organs and the skeletal system is required to locate areas of study using anatomical landmarks identify organs appearing on the film to determine the acceptability of the radiograph for diagnostic use and determine if standard positioning techniques might cause further pain or injury to patients.
