Why does a radiology department have a chain of command? So staff know who is responsible for decisions and where to bring questions or safety concerns.
What is the difference between a radiologist and a radiographer? A radiologist is a physician who interprets images. A radiographer performs imaging exams and cares for patients during them.
Why are department policies and protocols important? They guide staff toward safe, consistent care and clear documentation.

What is accreditation? A review of an educational program’s quality against established standards. JRCERT is a radiography program accreditor.
What is state licensure? Permission from a state to practice under that state’s laws. It is separate from ARRT certification and registration.
What is the difference between ethics, law, and practice standards? Ethics: professional conduct. Law: legal requirements, such as HIPAA. Practice standards: the profession’s expectations for quality care.
What does HIPAA protect? Patients’ protected health information, including identifiable medical information.
What is a simple approach to problem-solving in clinical? Identify the problem → gather facts → consider safe options → act within your role → check the result.
What does critical thinking look like during an exam? Noticing when the usual approach may be unsafe or ineffective, then choosing an appropriate adjustment or asking for help.
ARRT education + ethics + exam.
Clinical competency independent + consistent + effective.
