Summary

This study tests whether a structured training program helps radiologic technologists safely place IV lines for contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans. Nine technologists will be trained, and researchers will measure their skills, complication rates, and patient satisfaction. The goal is to see if this training improves patient safety and comfort during imaging procedures.
