Imaging professionals in healthcare settings account for the
workers who mostly handle radiography services and radiation equipment that
produce the X-ray, ultrasound, and CT scans that help doctors and nurses make
informed decisions about a patient. The professional status of imaging
professionals is achieved through the practice and application of professional
ethics that define what the acceptable standards of conduct are and the
acceptable scope of practice. One of the key differences between imaging
professionals and other healthcare practitioners is that the former spend less
time in direct engagement with patients, and as such their focus should be in
producing the best quality of images.
Ethical principles such as veracity which proposes that a
professional must always aim to communicate truthfully helps imaging
professionals to avoid recommending unnecessary tests in order to inflate the
medical bills. The beneficence principles which requires that professionals
should not do harm also informs professional status of imaging professions by
minimizing unnecessary tests to avoid exposure to radioactive materials that
are used in various imaging equipment. The need for these professional ethical
standards help protect imaging professional from professional liability by
equipping them with right sense of human values that inform their decisions
when faced with ethical dilemmas.
