title: Can a radiographer survive on technology alone?
abstract: Communication plays an important role in the interaction between the radiographer and the patient. In developing and using good communication skills, we can work toward providing a more comfortable atmosphere for the patient. By gaining the patient's full cooperation, a more efficient and effective x-ray examination can be performed. Learning to assess our interpersonal skills can sharpen our communicative skills and improve our responses to daily situations.
