Summary

The goal of this feasibility study is to learn if individuals without formal radiology training can safely acquire adequate x-ray images following a structured training and real-time remote guidance from a licensed radiologic technologist (RT). The main question it aims to answer is:

1. Can trained non-radiology staff, with real-time remote supervision, obtain x-ray images that meet preset technical quality standards for each required view?
2. Can these staff perform x-ray exams safely, as shown by low operator exposure, few image re-takes, and good adherence to radiation safety protocols?
3. What is the mental and physical workload for the non-radiology staff and the remote RT during the imaging process, as measured by the NASA Raw Task Load Survey (RTLX) after each session?

Conditions

  • Healthy Volunteers

Interventions

OTHER

X-ray Operator Training

The structured training will cover core principles of radiography, positioning techniques, and how to use the ENDURO DR ES90 portable x-ray system. Additionally, participants will complete a self-paced radiation safety training course consisting of radiation safety protocols and operator safety principles.
