Biography
Ryan Sotkovsky is a Radiologic Technologist and the founder and CEO of Sotkovsky Industries, LLC. For over 5 years, Ryan has worked at various healthcare facilities in multiple U.S. states performing both X-Ray and Computed Tomography (CT) procedures on numerous patients from all walks of life. Ryan’s interest in Medical Imaging began at a young age when he was a patient himself, needing images taken during a childhood filled with playing many different sports. After obtaining a BS in Biology from Stockton University, Ryan decided to pursue a career in radiology, and graduated with high honors from Keiser University with an AS in Radiologic Technology.
Ryan believes that Diagnostic Imaging is an essential and foundational part of the healthcare system, balancing both technical excellence and accuracy with compassionate patient care and empathy.
Innovation
During his time working in the X-ray Department, Ryan began to express some frustrations in the methods used to obtain images. In many different situations, technologists need to frequently think outside the box to capture high quality images, whether it is using positioning aids that are limited in function, or using whatever supplies that are on-hand to makeshift their own positioning aid. This can be very time consuming and lead to sub-optimal images and patient discomfort.
It is because of these trials and tribulations that Ryan began to conceptualize—what is now a functional prototype—of a positioning aid of his own. This device can be used in any x-ray setting and situation, which will lead to: exams becoming more time efficient, producing more optimal x-ray images, and making the patients more comfortable during exams. Ryan believes this device will revolutionize the methodology for radiographic patient positioning and image acquisition moving forward.
