Case: Technologists
In a bustling radiology department, a CT technologist is responsible for managing the imaging workflow during a busy morning shift. The technologist must ensure that all CT scans are performed efficiently and that the images are of high quality. A patient arrives for an abdominal CT scan, and the technologist must ensure that the scan is completed and the images are uploaded to the PACS system promptly. During the scan, the technologist notices that the images appear slightly blurred, which could affect the radiologist's ability to interpret them accurately.
The CT images show a series of axial slices of the abdomen. The images appear slightly blurred, indicating a potential issue with the imaging protocol or equipment settings.
What should the technologist do first upon noticing the blurred images?
