Meet our Technical Services Employee of the Month for October 2014:
Korey K.(CT Department) – Korey does an outstanding job working with our Radiologist on protocols and giving ideas to help complete referring physician’s imaging needs. He works closely with Shauna on all CT research studies. He is our lead technologist on scanning research cadavers, which requires arriving as early as 4:00 am to complete studies. Korey is responsible for keeping up to date the licenses/registration renewals (ACR) for the CT department. Korey maintains QA for both scanners and works directly with our medical physics on Radiation Dose Reduction. Korey attended training in Milwaukee to prepare for our new scanners. He will be responsible for new protocols for the system and training the CT staff. Korey is looked up to by his peers and I’m thankful to have him on the CT Team.
