    • Verify patient identity and screening criteria to ensure safety, 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 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, monitoring patients for adverse reactions.
    • Ensure patients remain still during scans to obtain clear, high-resolution images.
    • Monitor the MRI process to confirm quality imaging, making adjustments to settings or positioning as necessary.
  • Patient Safety and Comfort:
    • Ensure patient safety during MRI procedures, particularly concerning strong magnetic fields, 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 any 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 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 any 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, identifying malfunctions or issues, and alerting the 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 the need for follow-up scans, and discuss patient conditions.
    • Collaborate with radiologists to ensure 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 records are complete and accurate.
    • Ensure 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 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.
