1. Radiologist: A medical doctor who specializes in the use of imaging techniques, including X-rays, to diagnose and treat diseases. The radiologist will interpret the X-ray images and provide a report of the findings.
2. Radiation technologist: A healthcare professional who is trained to use X-ray machines and other imaging equipment. The radiation technologist will position the patient and operate the X-ray machine.
3. Nurse: A healthcare professional who provides nursing care before, during, and after the X-ray examination. The nurse may help the patient prepare for the examination, administer any necessary medications, and monitor the patient's condition.
4. Physician assistant (PA) or nurse practitioner (NP): A healthcare professional who is trained to provide medical care under the supervision of a physician. A PA or NP may help with patient care and may also interpret the X-ray images if they have additional training in radiology.
5. Anesthesiologist: In some cases, an anesthesiologist may be involved if the patient needs sedation during the examination to reduce discomfort or anxiety.
The specific medical team may vary depending on the hospital or clinic where the X-ray examination is performed.
