MRI Technologist Jobs in Aurora, IL

A MRI Technologist, also known as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist, plays a pivotal role in the radiology field. They operate MRI scanners to create diagnostic images to aid in patient diagnosis and treatment. They are responsible for preparing patients for the procedure, explaining the process, ensuring patient safety, positioning patients correctly, selecting appropriate imaging parameters, administering contrast agents, and capturing the highest possible quality images.
