MRI Applications Specialist June 2012 – March 2015 BioClinica; I instructed all sites involved in the clinical trials on setting up the correct imaging parameters for the study where all the main MRI vendors, GE, Siemens, and Philips were utilized.

MRI Technologist November 2010 – May 2012 East River Medical Imaging; helped with ACR Accreditation and involved in direct patient care, performing MRI scans of all types and on all body parts ordered. Discussed patient history and specific protocols with radiologists and called referring physicians offices to confirm exam ordered and to get more appropriate history when necessary.

Project Manager September 2008 – July 2010 ICON Medical Imaging; as at BioClinica I used my MRI experience to help all the sites involved in the clinical trials to set up specific MRI study protocols and help them work through any problems they had implementing and changing scan parameters. I reviewed and consulted with the pharmaceutical company the correct MRI protocol and scan parameters for all three MRI vendors.
