Diagnostic radiographer

Pay in the destination countries

Monthly, in US dollars. Each country is an Imora admission package — open one for that route's fees, language requirement and deadline.

What does the day look like?

Your day is mostly in X-ray, CT, MRI and fluoroscopy rooms. You meet the patient, check the referral against radiation protection rules, position them on the table or against the erect bucky, and set kVp, mAs, slice thickness, pitch, matrix size and field of view. You inject contrast through a power injector and watch for anaphylactoid reactions. You immobilise paediatric, trauma with cervical collars, and post-surgical patients with sponges and straps. ~60% of the day is this clinical work.

You spend ~30% on systems: PACS (Sectra, GE Centricity, Philips IntelliSpace, Agfa Enterprise) and RIS/HIS (Epic Systems, Cerner / Oracle Health, EMIS Health), checking image quality, doing windowing, MPR and MIP, and sending datasets for reporting, plus daily phantom calibration, dosimeter checks and room sanitisation. ~10% is flagging acute findings — tension pneumothorax, intracranial hemorrhage, displaced fractures — to A&E doctors or on-call radiologists. Full time is 37.5 hours per week in the United Kingdom (NHS) and 38 to 40 hours per week in Australia, Canada and the United States, with day, twilight, weekend, 12-hour emergency and overnight on-call shifts.
