Job Description:

Magnet Medical seeks a skilled Diagnostic Imaging Specialist to join our team in Antioch, California.

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced CT Technologist to operate computed tomography (CT) scanners and perform diagnostic imaging procedures for patients. The successful candidate will be responsible for obtaining high-quality images of a patient's body, which will be used by physicians to diagnose conditions such as injuries, infections, cancers, and other abnormalities.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Patient Preparation and Communication:

    The ideal candidate will prepare patients for CT scans by explaining the procedure, answering any questions, and ensuring they are comfortable. They will also verify patient information, including medical history, allergies, and prior imaging, to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate imaging protocols.

  • Operation of CT Equipment:

    The selected candidate will operate and calibrate the CT scanner, ensuring proper settings for each scan, including parameters such as radiation dose, slice thickness, and imaging protocols. They will also administer contrast agents or dye injections (under physician or radiologist guidance) to enhance image clarity during certain CT procedures.

  • Image Quality and Review:

    The successful candidate will review the CT images for quality, ensuring that all required areas are captured and the images meet diagnostic standards. They will work closely with radiologists to ensure that images are of sufficient quality to support diagnosis.

  • Patient Safety and Comfort:

    The ideal candidate will follow safety protocols to minimize radiation exposure to patients, including using the lowest possible dose for effective imaging and utilizing shielding where appropriate. They will maintain a sterile, safe, and clean environment in the CT room, ensuring all equipment is sanitized between patients.

  • Collaboration and Communication:

    The selected candidate will work closely with physicians, radiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to determine the appropriate imaging procedures and assist in diagnosing medical conditions. They will document patient information, scan parameters, contrast media used, and any complications in the electronic health record.

  • Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

    The successful candidate will maintain, clean, and perform basic troubleshooting on the CT scanner and associated equipment, ensuring everything is functioning properly.

  • Radiation Safety and Compliance:

    The ideal candidate will follow all radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff, including the use of appropriate shielding and adhering to dosage guidelines. They will ensure compliance with healthcare regulations, including HIPAA, safety standards, and Joint Commission guidelines.

  • Documentation and Record Keeping:

    The selected candidate will accurately document imaging procedures, patient information, and any adverse events or changes in patient status. They will ensure all documentation is compliant with hospital or clinic policies, medical record-keeping regulations, and industry standards.

  • Patient Education and Support:

    The successful candidate will provide education and guidance to patients regarding aftercare following contrast injections, potential side effects, and follow-up procedures. They will address patient concerns about the procedure, including fears of radiation exposure or claustrophobia, offering support as necessary.

  • Professional Development and Training:

    The ideal candidate will participate in continuing education to stay current with advancements in CT imaging technology, protocols, and safety procedures. They will attend in-house training sessions and seminars on new imaging techniques or equipment.

Requirements and Qualifications

The Magnet Medical Diagnostic Imaging Specialist position requires a strong background in CT imaging technology and experience working in a clinical setting. Candidates must possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment. A certification in CT scanning is highly desirable.

Salary and Benefits
