Magnetic resonance technologists

Description

Medical radiation technologists use radiation and electromagnetism to produce images of body structures for the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease and use radiation therapy equipment to administer radiation treatment. They are employed in hospitals, cancer treatment centres, clinics, radiological laboratories, colleges and universities. Medical radiation technologists who are supervisors or instructors are included in this unit group.

  • Record and process patient data
  • Perform verification and quality control checks on magnet equipment
  • Safety screen all patients for contra-indicators present that could harm the patient or would exclude the patient from having the examination
  • Provide appropriate care and monitoring of the patient during the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination
  • Administer and follow the necessary safety precautions for entry to the magnet room to protect themselves, the patient, their colleagues, other members of the health care team and any other individuals who may be present
  • May train and supervise student magnetic resonance technologists or supervise other magnetic resonance technologists.

Employment Requirements

  • Completion of a two- to three-year college or other approved program in diagnostic radiography or magnetic resonance imaging (for radiological technologists and magnetic resonance technologists), nuclear medicine technology (for nuclear medicine technologists) or radiation therapy (for radiation therapists) or a bachelor of health sciences in radiography, nuclear medicine or radiation therapy and a period of supervised practical training are required.
