While radiology does not seem the place where many different professional would be at the same time, it is quite the opposite. Depending on who the patient is, and what their health is, there could be up to many different people there. For example, there was one a patient with TB (tuberculosis) receiving steroid iliac injections. In this situation it was critical for all the people there to communicate, the radiologic technologist, the nurses, and the doctor performing the injections. The nurse and the doctor would talk the patient throughout the procedure, while the radiologic technologist would operate the imaging. Standard safety procedures include proper radiation exposure. Health care professional cannot stand in the path of x-ray, they must stand stand behind lead lined screen. There should be no pregnancies, and the radiation film badge should be monitored. This badge measures and records radiation exposure. The therapeutic procedures I observed I included the steroid iliac injections which help relieve pain and inflammation on the iliac
