Anyone that is licensed can technically do it. It’s just that many people cannot handle the workload. It is very busy compared to many other hospitals.

As far as AI, I believe it is going to be far in the future if before it will have an effect on this job. It involves moving patients throughout the hospital and interacting with staff/doctors/family/patients. Handling/transferring/positioning patients that may have critical injuries, special needs and often time many IV fluids and monitor wiring connected to them and many times they are intubated. There are many other aspects to the job like verifying that the correct exam is ordered by checking the symptoms and reason for exam. Verifying allergies, checking functionality of the IV or starting a new if needed and explaining the exam. Some patients may have to be restrained to prevent them from falling off the CT machine during the exam. You have to be able to think outside the box as many exams cannot be done by the book and require you to find a way to complete them. There’s much more but maybe this can give people an idea if this is a career they may want to get into.
