Abstract: In the rapidly evolving field of radiology, patient-centered care has emerged as a critical focus for healthcare institutions. This paper explores the pivotal roles that medical imaging technologists and patient relations teams play in enhancing patient experiences and outcomes within radiology departments. Through a descriptive methodology and comprehensive literature review, we examine how these professionals' expertise, communication skills, and empathetic approach contribute to creating a patient-centric environment. The paper highlights key areas where medical imaging technologists and patient relations teams can significantly impact, including patient education, emotional support, and care coordination. By fostering collaborative relationships and leveraging the unique skills of these professionals, radiology departments can improve patient satisfaction, reduce anxiety, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of investing in developing and integrating medical imaging technologists and patient relations teams to drive patient-centered care in radiology.
