Perform all routine aspects of MRI procedures, including but not limited to; QC, start-up procedures, signal-to-noise test scans, program/sequence selection, contrast injection, and image processing. - Explain to patients the magnetic resonance imaging procedures, address patient concerns and exhibit a high degree of tact, courtesy and poise when interacting with patients, staff and visitors. - Instruct patients regarding magnetic imaging procedures; prepare, position and manipulate patients to ensure appropriate placement for imaging. - Prepare and administer the appropriate oral, intestinal and I. V. contrast media or as appropriate, assist the radiologist with I. V. contrast administration. - Calibrate and operate equipment to ensure that the scan is correctly and diagnostically executed in minimal time. - Recognize the need for additional sequences, changes in protocols and the need for paramagnetic contrast studies based on patient pathology, physical condition or sub-optimal image quality. - Apply MRI interventional, magnetization transfer imaging (MTI), echo planar, spectroscopy, maximum intensity projection, cine, and perfusion/diffusion imaging. - Calibrate and operate equipment to ensure that the scan is correctly and diagnostically executed in minimal time. - Evaluate images on video display screen for diagnostic quality and presence of artifacts; evaluate videotapes and computer-generated information for technical quality; take corrective action as indicated to ensure image quality. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Education: Graduation from high school or attainment of a satisfactory score on a G.E.D. test and successful completion of an American Medical Association (AMA) recognized Diagnostic Radiologic Technology training program.
