About your past

Tell me about a patient who was in a lot of pain or very anxious during an exam. How did you get the images you needed?

What they are checking: Patient care and communication skills that help them get quality images while keeping the patient comfortable.

As a per diem tech, how do you keep up with protocols and equipment you may not use every week?

What they are checking: Self-directed learning and safety habits when working infrequently.

What would you do

A patient might be pregnant and needs an exam. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they follow screening policy and involve the radiologist or provider before exposing a possible pregnancy.

You notice a coworker skipping a radiation safety step. What do you do?

What they are checking: Willingness to address unsafe practice respectfully, since radiation safety protects staff and patients.

About the work

How do you keep radiation dose as low as possible for a patient while still getting a diagnostic image?

What they are checking: Whether ALARA is part of how they set technique, collimate and shield, not just something they can define.

Walk me through a portable chest X-ray on a patient who can't sit up.

What they are checking: Practical positioning skill and adapting technique when ideal positioning is not possible.

What's your experience in the OR, such as fluoroscopy with a C-arm during surgery?

What they are checking: Comfort with sterile field rules, surgeon communication and radiation safety in the operating room.

What CT or mammography experience do you have, and what are you still learning?

What they are checking: An honest picture of their modality skills, since the posting says these may be part of the role.

You review an image and it's not diagnostic quality. How do you decide whether to repeat it?

What they are checking: Judgment balancing image quality against additional radiation exposure.

The posting mentions EKGs and peripheral vascular studies. How comfortable are you with those?

What they are checking: Their range beyond X-ray, which matters in a smaller hospital where techs cover more tasks.
