MRI Technologist (Lead MRI Technologist)
Responsibilities include: MRI scans on inpatients, outpatients, and emergency
patients. Examinations on the obese and claustrophobic patients are also
performed, as well as, injections on patients requiring contrast. The scheduling,
and payroll for the technologists, as well as, the Doctors covering contrast, the
completion of patient files, daily QA, and ordering supplies.
Using high field scanning techniques (GE 1.5T, Siemens 1.5T )
on common areas of concern such as, brain, spine, abdomen,
extremities, and breast can be completed in shorter amounts of
time with higher quality film--to help determine a patient health
status. However, low field scans (0.35 Toshiba, Hitachi, Picker
0.23) are also used for the examination of the obese, and
claustrophobic patients, allowing difficult patients to be processed.
The information obtained assists the doctor in their choices for
course of treatment.
Injections are performed on patients who need contrast, thus
reducing the number of nurses needed in the MRI department. The
completion of patient files, and ordering supplies such as, film,
contrast, and folders, reduce secretarial duties, which in turn will
helped decrease congestion in the MRI department. S
