Radiology Jobs
Radiology jobs and candidates can be found at iHireRadiology. Offering careers and job seekers at many different levels of experience, we use a unique system in order to match candidates to an employers’ job description. The following is a list of imaging job titles along with short descriptions that are listed on our site:
Radiologist
Originally responsible for using medical x-rays for the creation of specialized internal imaging, radiologists have taken on more responsibilities with technological advances. Professionals currently perform numerous duties including CT, MRI, or ultrasound radiography and imaging. Radiologists must be highly knowledgeable, and exercise extreme caution when working around the radiation emitted during imaging procedures.
Radiation Physicist
Radiation physicists are utilized for a variety of imaging jobs. They ensure all technical machines are properly set up, calibrated, and maintained, and are often responsible for directing and managing the work of other professionals. In addition to machine preservation and supervisory duties, they are also expected to complete a number of typical imaging duties as well.
Radiologic Oncologist
Radiologic oncologists are employed to administer radiation therapy used to treat cancer patients. They may be classified as clinical or medical doctors, so there is an immense amount of training necessary for these careers. Radiologic oncologists jointly with a number of other practicing physicians to ensure patients receive the best and most effective treatments currently available.
Dosimetrist
Based on complex measurements and calculations, dosimetrists carefully examine patient absorption of the dosages they are given. They may examine patients, tissues, and radiologic substances to ensure proper and safe treatments are delivered. Professionals must be highly educated, and work together with a number of physicians for radiation regulation.
Radiology Nurse
Responsible for a variety of nursing duties, radiology nurses are highly trained, and exceptionally flexible. They are accountable for numerous radiologic tasks, in addition to typical duties. Radiology nurses are often expected to assist with ultrasounds, CTs, MRIs, or other imaging techniques.
Radiology Technologist/Technician
Responsible for the daily production of radiologic images, radiology techs are trained to recognize discrepancies in a multitude of anatomical parts via x-rays. They explain procedures to patients, and prepare and position them for accurate imaging. Techs are required to wear a number of protective devices to avoid exposure to radiation.
Sonographer/Ultrasonographer
Often considered ultrasound technicians, ultrasonographers oversee and direct the operation of internal wave imaging. Candidates accurately direct the equipment in order to ensure the proper section of the patient’s body is projected onto the screen or video recorder for later analysis. Sonographers may be responsible for explaining procedures to patients before, during, or after their ultrasound.
Mammographer
Mammograms are utilized in order to detect abnormalities in a woman’s breasts. Mammographers prepare patients for and explain the process of a mammogram, as well as operate the machine. Accountable for highly technical duties, they complete extensive procedures prior to and following patient examination. Candidates later review the x-rays to pinpoint any problems that may be present.
Echo Cardiography Technician/Technologist
Using exceptionally advanced imaging equipment, echo cardiography technicians and technologists are able to effectively capture images of patients’ hearts. They follow numerous safety procedures before and after cardiography imaging for patient and individual safety. Upon receiving images from procedure readings, techs examine them in order to develop a diagnosis, pinpoint problematic areas, and develop treatments.
MRI Technician/Technologist
MRI technicians and technologists are specially trained for the proper use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment and procedures. MRIs are utilized for diagnosing a variety of dysfunctions or disorders that may be present in a patient. It is necessary for these professionals to work with a number of other professionals in order to accurately treat their patients.
CT Technician/Technologist
Using computed tomography, CT technicians and technologists are able to obtain a variety of internal imaging pictures. Techs prepare patients for procedures, position them as necessary, ensure machines are properly set up, and scan only the desired area of the body. Although they are most commonly employed in healthcare occupations, CT techs may be utilized in a variety of other occupations as well.
PET Technician/Technologist
Utilizing positron emission tomography, PET technicians and technologists utilize a combination of nuclear medicine and biochemistry for daily activities. They are employed to study the activity level of patients’ cells, and in order to understand the reaction of cells, tissues, and organs due to nuclear medicine, these techs must accurately record extensive findings. Images are captured on video or projected onto screens for immediate or delayed interpretation.
Special Procedures or Vascular Technician/Technologist
Including the study of the vascular (blood transport), cardiac (heart), and other highly specialized systems, special procedures or vascular techs use technical instruments and machines in order to capture images of a patient’s internal systems. Procedures utilize high frequency waves in order to detect necessary muscles, organs, or cells. Techs focusing in this area must possess specialized education and training in order to be successful in these occupations.
Director/Manager of Radiology/Imaging
Responsible for multiple professionals, directors and managers of radiology are employed for daily direction and supervision of all radiologic activities. They oversee the maintenance and usage of imaging equipment and delegate duties to associates as necessary. Although tasks may be delegated to other candidates, directors still review schedules and other documents or activities as needed.
Radiology/Imaging Supervisor Lead
With imaging or nuclear medicine experience, radiology supervisors commonly oversee and assist with a variety of departmental duties. Supervisors work immediately above associates, and must be able to offer advice and direction as necessary, in often hectic situations. Specific duties vary by facility, but all require close patient and coworker interaction.
