Medical Imaging nurses routinely start or check peripheral IVs, assess ports, administer medications, monitor vital signs, suction patients, insert foleys and help patients with their personal needs. The nurse also informs the technologist or radiologist of any unusual patient needs and performs specialized nursing duties, such as administering IV sedation or analgesia during special procedures and closely monitoring patients with cardiac/pulse oximeters.
