Structured training for radiologic technologists to place peripheral venous access for contrast imaging

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-center, interventional study evaluating a competency-based training program for radiologic technologists. The primary goal is to determine whether the training improves RTs' theoretical knowledge and practical skills in peripheral venous access for contrast administration. Secondary aims include tracking complication rates, patient-reported pain and satisfaction, and RTs’ perceptions of the training. Adult patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT or MRI are included, and RTs participate after completing the training. No investigational drugs or devices are used; the intervention is the training program itself.
