Rockford, Illinois, United States Magnet Medical Full time

Magnet Medical is seeking a skilled MRI imaging specialist to join their team in Rockford, Illinois. As a key member of the medical staff, you will be responsible for operating MRI machines to create detailed images of patients' bodies, which are used by doctors to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.

As an MRI technologist, your primary responsibilities will include preparing patients for procedures, positioning them correctly, ensuring safety protocols are followed, maintaining equipment, and providing high-quality images while delivering compassionate care.

Key Responsibilities
  • Pre-Procedure Preparation:

    • Review patient medical history, doctor's orders, and previous imaging studies to ensure the appropriate MRI procedure is conducted.
    • Explain the MRI procedure to patients, addressing any questions or concerns to reduce anxiety.
    • Ensure necessary documentation, including informed consent forms and patient information, is completed before procedures.
    • 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 procedures.
  • Conducting MRI Scans:

    • Operate MRI machines, adjusting settings to obtain high-quality images as prescribed by physicians.
    • Position patients on the MRI table, ensuring they are comfortable and aligned to capture correct images while adhering to safety standards.
    • Administer contrast agents as prescribed by physicians to enhance image clarity, ensuring patients are monitored for adverse reactions.
    • Ensure patients remain still during scans to obtain clear, high-resolution images.
    • Monitor MRI processes to confirm quality imaging, making adjustments to settings or positioning as needed.
  • Patient Safety and Comfort:

    • Ensure patient safety during MRI procedures, especially concerning strong magnetic fields, by verifying no ferrous or metal objects are present on patients.
    • Keep patients informed during scans, providing reassurance and instructions as needed to ensure comfort.
    • Monitor patients' conditions, including vital signs, during scans to detect potential issues or discomfort.
    • Ensure proper patient positioning to avoid injuries or discomfort during imaging processes.
  • Post-Procedure Care:

    • Assist patients off the MRI table after procedures and ensure they are stable and comfortable.
    • Provide post-procedure instructions, including use of follow-up treatments, care for injection sites (if contrast agents were used), and other aftercare instructions.
    • Ensure required post-scan imaging or additional scans are scheduled as necessary.
    • Address immediate concerns or side effects patients may experience, especially if contrast agents were administered.
  • Maintenance and Equipment Care:

    • Ensure MRI machines are 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 appropriate staff for repairs or servicing.
  • Collaboration with Medical Team:

    • Communicate effectively with physicians, radiologists, and other medical staff to ensure correct images are obtained and patients' needs are met.
    • Work with other healthcare professionals to review images, assess need for follow-up scans, and discuss patient conditions.
    • Collaborate with radiologists to ensure final images meet diagnostic standards and are transmitted accurately to appropriate physicians for review.
  • Documentation and Record-Keeping:

    • Document relevant patient information and scan results in electronic health records, ensuring records are complete and accurate.
    • Ensure imaging data is properly labeled and uploaded into systems, and assist with reports or communications as needed.
    • Maintain logs of equipment usage, maintenance, and any issues encountered during procedures.
  • Radiation Safety and Protocols:

    • While MRI does not use ionizing radiation, ensure safety by following 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 departments, such as when operating in proximity to X-ray or CT equipment.
    • Follow established safety protocols, including magnetic field safety, to avoid accidents or injuries.
  • 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 operation of MRI machines and best practices in patient care.
