About the Role

The Multimodality Technologist performs imaging in two or more disciplines, with at least 25% of their work focused on advanced areas like CT, MR, Nuc Med, or IR. This role works with ambulatory and hospital patients as requested by a physician or licensed provider for diagnosing disease and injury, following established protocols.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform high-quality multimodality procedures according to exam protocol promptly, maintaining production and quality standards.
• Demonstrate expertise in radiation dose reference levels and monitoring; take action if estimated dose exceeds set levels or for patient follow-up.
• Demonstrate and understand the proper use of iSTAT point of care testing for obtaining creatinine levels.
• Utilize AIDET for patient communication, identifying service needs, ensuring correct exams on correct patients, establishing rapport, communicating clearly and calmly, and assessing patient tolerance for the exam.
• Prepare the patient and area for procedures, including positioning, using immobilization devices, and setting up equipment with appropriate settings and exposure factors.
• Protect patients and employees by following safety, infection-control, drug, and radiation policies. Use sterile techniques for invasive procedures and maintain hand hygiene.
• Maintain equipment and work area to meet quality and cleanliness standards, working with engineers and physicists for optimal equipment operation. Report issues to management or the appropriate department and assist in maintaining supply inventory. Screen individuals according to approved policies and procedures to ensure safety.
• Obtain, verify, and maintain all relevant documentation, including requisitions, chart information, patient history, pregnancy status, policies, and procedures.
• Maintain medical imaging records in appropriate systems, according to department policies and procedures.
• Serve as a preceptor, providing quality training to new team members and training current teams on new services and initiatives.
• Take call, if required.

Key Success Factors

• Able to perform high-quality multimodality procedures according to exam protocol in a timely manner.
• Able to explain the procedure and put patients at ease.
• Able to provide services timely, accurately, and cost-efficiently in compliance with established System and regulatory standards, policies, and procedures.
• Able to perform tasks autonomously without need for routine oversight.
