Radiology Tech Multimodality

Radiology Tech Multimodality

As a Radiology Tech Multi-modality, you will operate our advanced scanning equipment to capture high-quality diagnostic images. Your commitment to patient care, safety, and technical excellence will be essential in delivering optimal imaging services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Accurately position patients to ensure effective scanning of specific body areas.

• Conduct regular warm-up sequences on radiological equipment to maintain functionality.

• Sterilize radiologic equipment thoroughly to ensure patient safety and adhere to hygiene and infection control protocols.

• Interpret and follow physicians' written scanning instructions accurately.

• Administer radiocontrast agents to enhance the visibility of internal structures during imaging.

• Review and evaluate scans to confirm they meet technical quality standards.

• Clearly explain scanning procedures to patients, offering reassurance and support as needed.

• Monitor patients during scanning procedures, identifying and responding to any allergic reactions to contrast agents.

• Maintain inventory of radiologic supplies and report any deficiencies.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum one year of experience in the following modalities: CT, X-ray, MRI, or Ultrasound (US) as verified by ARRT or RDMS certification.

• At least one year of experience working in a hospital setting.

• An associate degree or equivalent from a two-year college or technical school, combined with one year of relevant experience and training.

• Certification by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (RDMS).

• Certification in Basic Life Support (BLS) from the American Heart Association.

• Multimodality Technologists must possess certification in two (2) or more modalities: Radiology (X-ray), Computed Tomography (CT), Ultrasound (US), or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or have completed an accredited cross-training program.

Skills and Qualities:

• Excellent communication skills to effectively interact with patients and healthcare professionals.

• Compassion and patience in dealing with diverse patient populations.

• Up-to-date knowledge of the latest industry developments and best practices in radiological technology.

• Ability to work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment.

Working Conditions:
