The MRI Tech II possess an advanced skill level and can function within the MRI department, performing a variety of responsibilities. In addition to meeting all criteria of MRI tech I, the MRI tech II performs two additional tasks within the department as laid out in the position summary. The MRI Technologist II must adapt to changes in technology, new imaging techniques, and safe and effective imaging practices for patients with and without medical implants. These implants include pacemakers, nerve stimulation devices and electronic pumps that can cause severe injury and or death within the MRI environment. This position requires independent judgement, a comprehensive knowledge of MRI physics, biological effects to human tissue, medical implants and the ability to enforce MRI safety. The candidate must possess inherent compassion for patients with claustrophobia and provide mechanisms to assist the patient in overcoming their discomfort. This position operates under the general supervision of the Radiologist and the MRI Supervisor.

MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields to obtain images. All staff working in the MRI department must be screened prior to hiring to ensure their safety in the work environment. Medical implants with components that are not permitted into the magnetic field may restrict an applicant from working in the environment safely. The medical implants that should be considered prior to application include, but may not be limited to, all electronic devices (e.g., pumps, pacemakers, hearing devices and all devices run with a battery or Bluetooth).
This is a bargaining union position.
