MRI Technician Jobs in Glen Ellyn, IL

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Technician plays a crucial role in the radiology field by operating MRI machines, which use magnetic field and radio waves to generate images of the body's internal structures, aiding in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. These technicians position patients for scanning, monitor patient safety during the process, adjust imaging parameters, and ensure the production of high-quality images. They also assist radiologists in interpreting the images and provide patient education about the MRI process. Further, they maintain records, upkeep equipment, and adhere to safety regulations and procedures.

Important skills for an MRI Technician include strong technical skills, attention to detail, good physical stamina, excellent communication, and compassion. They should be certified in MRI technology, often requiring a certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) or similar bodies. Prior to becoming an MRI Technician, one could have roles such as a Radiologic Technologist or a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. Some might also start as a Patient Care Technician or a Medical Assistant in a healthcare setting, gaining valuable experience in patient care and medical procedures.
