To read about the CT team, <a href=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/2020\/10\/21\/uva-radiologys-ct-team-rises-to-challenges-brought-by-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>When most people think of radiology, they probably think of x-rays. After all, x-rays are the most commonly ordered imaging exam. And patients often think that it\u2019s radiologists who are physically taking their x-ray images. But that\u2019s not the case &#8211; the actual x-rays are taken by diagnostic radiology technologists, professionals who are specifically trained and educated to take many different kinds of x-rays of any part of the human body.<\/p>\n<p>At the 631-bed UVA Medical Center, the 65-person Diagnostic Radiology team is responsible for just about every x-ray taken of patients inside of the hospital. From the smallest infants in the NICU to geriatric patients in the Transitional Care Hospital; routine scans of chests or broken bones to x-raying trauma cases in the Emergency Department; operating the C-Arm to provide real-time fluoroscopic imaging in the operating suites to using a portable unit that travels to every room in the hospital &#8211; diagnostic radiology technologists have to thrive in a remarkably diverse set of circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>And they have to do it over and over again, every day, for every patient who needs images. It\u2019s hard to think of any care providers at UVA who have to adapt to so many radically different circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiagnostic techs have to be jacks of all trades,\u201d says Bob Hunsberger, who, along with Anthony Calise, is one of the two Diagnostic Radiology Supervisors. \u201cWe can\u2019t just specialize in one thing &#8211; we have to go and image any and all patient populations. We immerse ourselves with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Scope of Care that Diagnostic Radiology Provides<\/h3>\n<p>Diagnostic radiology is a 24\/7 service, 365 days a year. On an average day, diagnostic technologists might travel to 75 or 80 different rooms in the hospital to take x-rays on rolling, 1,300-pound portable imaging units. They\u2019re responsible for getting the highest-quality x-rays of around 90 Emergency Department patients a day. Daily, they image 50-60 inpatients for morning rounds so physicians can assess how their patients are doing. And they are integral parts of dozens of surgeries in the Operating Rooms each day.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a relentless and diverse volume, day in and day out. And the entire spectrum of care at UVA Health relies on the images that technologists produce. After all, each image offers critical insights on patients, insights that will help determine treatment, management and, ultimately, their health. It couldn\u2019t matter more to each patient and their families. And it\u2019s a responsibility diagnostic technologists take seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the job,\u201d says Calise. \u201cWhoever comes in, whatever comes up, we don\u2019t say no. We don\u2019t turn any imaging request down. If a patient is in the building and needs an x-ray, we have to figure it out. Every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The New &#8216;Every Day&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>Like every care team at UVA and hospitals across the globe, diagnostic radiology technologists have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Working alone instead of in pairs, and having to take significantly extra time donning and doffing protective gear before imaging patients has become a routine part of daily life. As have entering the COVID-19 wards and imaging COVID-positive patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in the COVID wards and the Emergency Department all day, every day,\u201d says Calise. \u201cAnd as far as we know, no one on our team has contracted COVID-19 at the hospital. Masking and eye protection has worked. Plenty of people have been tested, but no one on our team has gotten COVID-19 from a patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a remarkable record of safety &#8211; all the more remarkable because diagnostic techs aren\u2019t confined to one area of the hospital, but move through literally every space in the building, spending time in close quarters with countless patients. The last thing they want to do is bring COVID from one patient to another. That\u2019s why the team takes safety and PPE extremely seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re like busy little bees,\u201d says Diagnostic Technologist Gordon Songer. \u2018If we\u2019re not careful we\u2019d pollinate the whole hospital, because we\u2019re everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides the challenge of protecting themselves and patients from COVID, technologists also face unique challenges in getting high-quality x-rays of COVID-positive patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re taught in school to do portable chest x-rays with a patient sitting upright or laying flat on their back,\u201d says Hunsberger. \u201cBut part of COVID-19 treatment is rolling patients prone with their back up, chest down. I might have done one or two prone chest x-rays in the last seventeen years, but now it\u2019s a daily occurrence. So it\u2019s a totally different approach for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10217 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556.jpg\" alt=\"UVA Radiology Diagnostic technologists pose on the stairs in the UVA Health lobby\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556-1536x1105.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2021\/01\/JD7B0556-278x200.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Solidarity and Perseverance<\/h3>\n<p>When Calise and Hunsberger think back to everything that their team has experienced, nearly one year into this COVID-19 pandemic, they are struck by the flexibility and solidarity they have shown.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the pandemic, like the other modalities in the department, they split the technologists into two groups. Each worked one week on, one week off, so that if there was a COVID-19 exposure only half the technologists would be exposed at once.<\/p>\n<p>Calise saw the sacrifice that it took to make that new schedule work on only a few days\u2019 notice. \u201cIt required mandatory overtime,\u201d he says. \u201cSome people who were only working a few days a week had to work full-time. Some people with multiple jobs had to juggle them and balance their time. We have to recognize the team for stepping up and working 6 days a week during that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunsberger agrees: \u201cWhen we cut the team in half when COVID started, and operated with half the staff and changed schedules, we only had two to three days\u2019 notice for that. Our people stepped up and there was no issue with it. They adapted and were flexible. It was amazing perseverance through it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Calise and Hunsberger also bring up the actions of one night-shift technologist, Gordon Songer, as an example of the kind of behavior that has so impressed them.<\/p>\n<p>There was a very large COVID-19 exposure in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit over the summer. Because of the sheer scale of the exposure, the Health System decided that all exposed employees would have to wear N95 masks at all times while in the hospital for a full two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>All of Gordon\u2019s night shift colleagues had imaged this patient, and so would have to wear N95s for two weeks. But because Gordon had not imaged this patient, he didn\u2019t have to. That didn\u2019t sit right with Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to wear an N95 while giving patient care, and then be able to step out into another room and take it off and put on a different mask,\u201d Gordon says. \u201cBut it\u2019s really hard to wear all shift, even when sitting in an area with no patients around. It\u2019s hot and hard to breath, and the bands are very tight because it needs to be tight to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be the only comfortable one on the team. There was no way. So I wore the N95 for those two weeks, too, to show my solidarity and support for my team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Prepared To Thrive in Challenging Times<\/h3>\n<p>Hunsberger is proud of his team but not surprised that they have persevered during this difficult time. To him, the skills and qualities that COVID-19 has demanded of all of us are the same ones that make a good diagnostic technologist. He says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re always asked to make the best of any situation. And we do. That\u2019s kind of the gist of being a good diagnostic technologist: taking the situation you have, whatever it is, and being able to produce high-quality images in less than high-quality situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing our team is not capable of doing, if we ask them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: This is the second in a series of articles profiling different modality teams at UVA Radiology and how they\u2019ve risen to the challenges of COVID-19.
