CLINICAL
1. QC of digital imaging equipment: Primary responsibility is the high quality of operation of clinical radiological imaging instrumentation. Respond to calls for assistance on imaging equipment, providing assistance with operation or summoning support as appropriate. Schedule, monitor and perform quality control tests, including ACR accreditation for radiological equipment on this equipment base. Interpret results, maintain records and prepare reports for regulatory bodies. Coordinate activities with other medical physicists and engineers to assure compliance with institutional standards. Maintain appropriate and adequate test instrumentation for digital imaging and PACS instrumentation.
2. Facilities planning: Assist in planning of new construction or remodeling and installation of new or relocated medical imaging equipment. Prepare performance specifications, assist in room layout, review electrical power and environmental plans for appropriateness, and perform acceptance testing.
3. Calibrates and performs quality assurance measurements on all diagnostic equipment. The performance of these tasks occasionally requires accurate positioning of phantoms of up to 60 pounds on imaging tables at heights of up to 54 inches above the floor.
4. Interacts with professional and technical staff to evaluate image quality and patient exposure. These duties requires the ability to input data into a computer using a keyboard, digitizer tablet, tape drive or other device and verify the correctness of input data.
5. Works with professional and administrative staff to prepare specifications and ordering of all diagnostic equipment.
6. Responsible for acceptance testing of all diagnostic imaging equipment.
7. Participates in radiation safety activities and shielding calculations for site planning of new equipment. These duties require the ability to read architect¿s blueprints, write specifications, read bidders responses and perform mathematical calculations.
8. Provides patient consultations to physicians, techniques and other physicists concerning specific patient imaging problems. This task involves observing the clinical conditions and suggesting imaging techniques.
9. Provide medical physics lectures to Radiology Residents.
RESEARCH
1. Participates in clinical research groups and provides support for all Radiology equipment throughout the institution. These duties require effective communication with collaborators, understanding imaging techniques, and ability to acquire images under different conditions.
EDUCATIONAL
1. Participates in the training of graduate students, radiologic technologists and radiology residents.
ADMINISTRATION (5%)
1. Responsible for the administration oversight of the business activities including fiscal and budgetary affairs, operating systems, section staff and other activities essential to the successful clinical and/or research operations of the section.
NON-ESSENTIAL DUTIES
1. Perform other duties as assigned.

Preferred Skill/Competency:
