An MRI Technologist (Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist)
operates MRI machines to create detailed images of the inside of a
patient's body, which are used by doctors to diagnose and treat
various medical conditions. MRI Technologists are responsible for
positioning patients correctly, ensuring safety protocols are
followed, maintaining equipment, and providing high-quality images
while delivering compassionate care. Key Responsibilities: 1.
Pre-Procedure Preparation: - Review the patient's medical history,
doctor’s orders, and any previous imaging studies to ensure the
appropriate MRI procedure is conducted. - Explain the MRI procedure
to the patient, addressing any questions or concerns to reduce
anxiety. - Ensure that all necessary documentation, including
informed consent forms and patient information, is completed before
the procedure. - Verify patient identity and screening criteria to
ensure safety, such as checking for implanted devices, allergies to
contrast agents, or pregnancy. - Prepare and position the MRI room
by ensuring the machine and equipment are ready for the procedure.
2. Conducting MRI Scans: - Operate the MRI machine, adjusting
settings (e.g., magnetic field, radiofrequency pulse) to obtain
high-quality images as prescribed by the physician. - Position
patients on the MRI table, ensuring they are comfortable and
aligned to capture the correct images while adhering to safety
standards. - Administer contrast agents as prescribed by the
physician to enhance image clarity, ensuring the patient is
monitored for adverse reactions. - Ensure the patient remains still
during the scan to obtain clear, high-resolution images. - Monitor
the MRI process to confirm quality imaging, making adjustments to
the settings or positioning as necessary. 3. Patient Safety and
Comfort: - Ensure patient safety during the MRI procedure,
especially concerning the strong magnetic fields, by verifying that
no ferrous or metal objects are present on the patient. - Keep
patients informed during the scan, providing reassurance and
instructions as needed to ensure comfort. - Monitor the patient’s
condition, including vital signs, during the scan to detect any
potential issues or discomfort. - Ensure proper patient positioning
to avoid injuries or discomfort during the imaging process. 4.
Post-Procedure Care: - Assist the patient off the MRI table after
the procedure and ensure they are stable and comfortable. - Provide
post-procedure instructions, including the use of any follow-up
treatments, care for injection sites (if contrast agents were
used), and any other aftercare instructions. - Ensure that any
required post-scan imaging or additional scans are scheduled as
necessary. - Address any immediate concerns or side effects the
patient may experience, especially if contrast agents were
administered. 5. Maintenance and Equipment Care: - Ensure that the
MRI machine is regularly calibrated and functioning correctly,
performing basic maintenance and troubleshooting when necessary. -
Clean and disinfect the MRI suite and equipment between patients to
adhere to infection control protocols. - Monitor equipment
performance, identify malfunctions or issues, and alert the
appropriate staff for repairs or servicing. 6. Collaboration with
Medical Team: - Communicate effectively with physicians,
radiologists, and other medical staff to ensure the correct images
are obtained and the patient’s needs are met. - Work with other
healthcare professionals to review images, assess the need for
follow-up scans, and discuss patient conditions. - Collaborate with
radiologists to ensure the final images meet diagnostic standards
and are transmitted accurately to the appropriate physician for
review. 7. Documentation and Record-Keeping: - Document all
relevant patient information and scan results in the electronic
health record (EHR), ensuring that records are complete and
accurate. - Ensure that imaging data is properly labeled and
uploaded into the system, and assist with reports or communications
as needed. - Maintain logs of equipment usage, maintenance, and any
issues encountered during procedures. 8. Radiation Safety and
Protocols: - While MRI does not use ionizing radiation, ensure
safety by following the guidelines for handling contrast agents and
any equipment that could pose a risk to patients. - Adhere to
radiation safety standards for other imaging technologies used in
the department, such as when operating in proximity to X-ray or CT
equipment. - Follow all established safety protocols, including
magnetic field safety, to avoid accidents or injuries. 9.
Professional Development and Training: - Stay current with the
latest MRI technology, scanning techniques, and patient care
practices. - Participate in continuing education programs and
obtain necessary certifications to maintain licensure and improve
professional skills. - Assist in training new MRI technologists or
students on the operation of MRI machines and best practices in
patient care. Magnet Medical Job ID 34612416. Pay package is based
