Magnet Medical, a leading provider of healthcare services, is seeking a skilled Diagnostic Imaging Specialist to join our team in Charleston, South Carolina.

Job Overview
  • Specialty: Ultrasound Technologist
  • Discipline: Allied Health Professional

The ideal candidate will possess strong technical skills, attention to detail, and excellent patient care abilities. As a Diagnostic Imaging Specialist, you will be responsible for performing medical imaging procedures using ultrasound equipment to create high-quality images or videos of patients' internal structures.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Pre-Procedure Preparation:
  • Review patient medical history and physician orders to ensure the correct type of ultrasound procedure is performed.
  • Prepare ultrasound equipment, ensuring it is functioning properly and has the necessary settings adjusted for the procedure.
  • Explain the ultrasound procedure to the patient, addressing any questions or concerns to reduce anxiety.
  • Confirm the patient's identity, verify any contraindications (e.g., allergies to contrast agents), and ensure proper documentation is completed.
Conducting Ultrasound Scans:
  • Position patients properly on the examination table to capture clear, high-quality images.
  • Apply a conductive gel to the patient's skin to facilitate the transmission of sound waves, ensuring the patient is comfortable during the process.
  • Operate ultrasound equipment, adjusting settings such as depth, focus, and frequency to capture optimal images of organs, tissues, or blood flow.
  • Use a hand-held ultrasound transducer (probe) to move over the patient's body and capture images or videos of the target area.
  • Obtain diagnostic-quality images and videos of organs, blood vessels, muscles, or fetuses (if performing obstetric ultrasounds).
Patient Safety and Comfort:
  • Ensure patient comfort and safety during the ultrasound procedure, explaining each step and providing reassurance.
  • Monitor the patient for signs of discomfort or distress and adjust positioning or equipment settings as needed.
  • Address patient concerns or discomfort, particularly for patients who may be anxious or nervous about the procedure.
  • Ensure a clean and sterile environment, adhering to infection control standards.
Image Analysis and Reporting:
  • Capture high-quality, diagnostic images that meet the criteria for medical evaluation and diagnosis.
  • Review and analyze ultrasound images for clarity and completeness before submitting them to the physician or radiologist.
  • Provide preliminary findings or impressions based on ultrasound images to the physician, while adhering to professional and legal guidelines.
  • Ensure that all images are labeled correctly and stored in the hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system or PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System).
Post-Procedure Care:
  • Assist the patient after the procedure, ensuring they are stable and comfortable before leaving the examination room.
  • Remove any gel from the patient's skin and offer tissues or towels for cleaning.
  • Provide patients with aftercare instructions, especially if additional follow-up appointments or tests are required.
  • Advise patients to follow up with their physician for review of results or further treatment.
Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
  • Regularly inspect and maintain ultrasound equipment, ensuring it is functioning properly and in good working condition.
  • Perform basic troubleshooting for equipment malfunctions, and report technical issues to the appropriate team for repair.
  • Ensure the ultrasound probe is properly cleaned and sanitized between patients, following infection control protocols.
Documentation and Record-Keeping:
  • Maintain accurate records of procedures performed, including patient information, images, and reports.
  • Ensure all documentation is completed in compliance with hospital policies, regulatory standards, and patient confidentiality guidelines (e.g., HIPAA).
  • Ensure that images and results are stored correctly and are readily accessible for review by physicians or radiologists.
Collaboration with Medical Team:
  • Work closely with physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide accurate imaging for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Communicate effectively with physicians and other medical staff to discuss the quality of images or any potential findings that may require further investigation.
  • Assist in preparing reports or other documentation as needed for medical records or treatment planning.
Professional Development and Training:
  • Participate in continuing education opportunities, staying current with the latest advancements in ultrasound technology and imaging techniques.
  • Obtain and maintain certifications and licensure required for ultrasound technology, including RDMS (Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer) certification and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
  • Assist in training new sonographers or students in the proper operation of ultrasound equipment, patient care, and safety protocols.
