• Abstract:

  Radiology is the medical specialty that uses any form of ionizing

  radiation, sonorous or magnetic, capable of transforming images, for diagnostic or

  therapeutic purposes. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the nurse’s behavior

  and procedures in the ICD, stressing the importance of having an efficient care, besides

  demonstrating the role of the nurse in the exams that use the contrast medium and

  describing the use of personal protective equipment and collective as prevention of

  occupational hazards in this sector. This is a bibliographic review of the narrative type

  of qualitative character developed in material already published on the role of the nurse

  in the center of diagnostic imaging. We observed that the performance of a nursing

  professional is necessary in the radiological examinations, either to guide the patient, to

  manipulate a venous access route or to administer drugs. The nurse is responsible for

  informing the patient about the accomplishment of the examination, doing anamnesis

  searching for relevant information that may benefit in the screening of allergic processes

  or preexisting diseases. Another factor to emphasize is that the safety criteria in the

  administration of the contrast agent are clear and well defined and, in this way, can

  recognize patients at risk, preventing and treating adverse reactions. In this way, the

  nurse must be able to recognize, prevent and attend to possible complications that may

  occur, as well as guide users and their families about how to protect themselves from

  ionizing during the test.
