St Louis, Missouri, United States Magnet Medical Full time

About the Job

Magnet Medical is seeking a highly skilled Diagnostic Imaging Specialist to join their team in Saint Louis, Missouri.

Job Summary

The successful candidate will operate MRI machines to create detailed images of the inside of patients' bodies, which will be used by doctors to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Pre-Procedure Preparation:

    Review patients' medical history, doctor's orders, and any 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
