Abstract: In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on leveraging interdepartmental collaboration to enhance patient care and outcomes in radiology. This paper examines the vital role that nursing professionals play in supporting and optimizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) procedures. Through a descriptive methodology and literature review, we explore how radiology nurses' specialized knowledge, skills, and patient-centric approach contribute to improved procedural efficiency, safety, and patient satisfaction. The paper highlights key areas where nursing integration is pivotal, including patient preparation, monitoring, and post-procedural care. By fostering synergistic partnerships between radiology and nursing departments, healthcare institutions can streamline workflows, mitigate risks, and elevate the radiological services' standard. The findings underscore the importance of recognizing and leveraging the unique contributions of nursing professionals within the radiology domain.
