    • The interviewer should facilitate a response from the patient by using open-ended questions, maintaining eye contact, and showing interest.

    Types of Data

    • Perceptible data is sensory data that can be measured, such as vital signs and physical exam findings.

    Documenting Collected Data

    • It is crucial to document collected data precisely and clearly to ensure accuracy and reliability of the information.

    Radiologist's Interest

    • The radiologist is specifically interested in information related to the patient's examination, such as medical history, symptoms, and current condition.

    Questioning Techniques

    • The interviewer should avoid leading questions, jargon, and assumptions during questioning to ensure the integrity of the collected information.
    • Open-ended questions should be used to focus on more detail during an interview.

    Clinical History

    • The most important element of the clinical history for MDs is the chief complaint.
    • It is essential for the patient to add more than a single complaint during history-taking to provide a comprehensive understanding of their condition.
    • The Sacred Seven of Medical Histories (Location, Duration, Severity, Timing, Context, Modifying Factors, and Associated Symptoms) are used to gather detailed information about the patient's symptoms.

    Patient Interaction

    • The technologist plays a vital role in interacting with patients, including taking a patient's history and providing instructions during the examination.
    • It is essential to verify symptoms with the exam request to ensure accurate information.

    Understanding Symptoms

    • Understanding if pain is localized versus general is crucial in determining the underlying cause of the symptoms.

    Radiologist's Expectations

    • Radiologists want to know about the patient's history, including medical conditions, allergies, and previous treatments.

    Good Listening Skills

    • Acting as a good listener is essential for a technologist when interacting with patients to ensure accurate information and build trust.

    Taking a Patient's History

    • Recommended questions when taking a patient's history include "What brings you here today?" or "Can you tell me more about your symptoms?"
    • The role of the radiologic and imaging sciences professional in taking a clinical history is to gather accurate and relevant information about the patient's condition.

    Clarifying the Chief Complaint

    • Clarifying the chief complaint during history-taking is crucial to ensure accuracy and specificity.

    Objective vs. Subjective Data
