A Perth radiographer has been banned from practising after he admitted to pulling down a woman's panties without consent and spreading her legs.
Mr Pei Ren Un is not allowed to work in his profession for 18 months after disciplinary action brought against him by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia.
Mr Un, who was employed at the Perth Radiological Clinic in Gosnells in 2014, had to front the State Administrative Tribunal in April.
There he admitted to opening the patient's robe and pulling down her underpants without consent.
He then pushed her knees apart while she was on her back, exposing her vagina.
The woman tried to cover herself, to which he responded to the effect of "Why bother, I have seen it all anyway".
Mr Un was found guilty of professional misconduct, breaching boundaries and engaging in sexual misconduct.
He was also found to have failed to treat the patient with respect, gain her consent and displaying a standard of behaviour that warrants the trust and respect of the community, the tribunal found.
As a result he was disqualified from practicing for 18 months.
Mr Un was also ordered to pay $1,800 in legal costs.
