About The Position

The MRI Tech performs complex diagnostic MRI procedures and is primarily responsible for completing diagnostic studies from start to finish under the direction of a radiologist. The role includes performing routine MRIs and MRAs, obtaining accurate verbal patient histories, starting IVs and administering contrast under a physician’s direction, and helping maintain a positive imaging environment while serving as a liaison between patients and the radiologist. The position is located in Naperville and works Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with two weekend days per month from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The technologist performs equipment and procedure-area quality assurance checks; maintains MRI safety standards; ensures ferromagnetic materials remain outside the scan room; and demonstrates emergency shutdown and fire and safety evacuation procedures. The role includes checking patient transfer and transport equipment, operating MRI equipment according to established guidelines and protocols, completing protocol tasks, and performing ordered examinations according to written MRI protocols. Patient care duties include verifying patient identity using three unique identifiers, introducing oneself by name and role, explaining procedures in accessible terms, addressing patient questions before the examination, and verifying MRI screening forms and related information. The technologist selects an appropriate IV site and catheter or needle, establishes IV access using standard precautions, prepares and administers the correct contrast amount using established protocols, monitors the injection, and documents injection details. Quality assurance documentation is generated when infiltration or a reaction occurs. The technologist prepares and positions patients according to MRI protocols to obtain the highest-quality images. The base pay range is $35.00–$52.00. Actual pay depends on factors including skills, experience, education, certifications, geographic location, and internal equity.
