What does the day look like?
You work at the bedside before, during and after scans and procedures in CT, MRI, PET, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology and fluoroscopy suites. You place high-flow 18G to 20G IV lines rated for pressure injectors such as Bayer MEDRAD Stellant and Guerbet OptiVantage at up to 5 mL/second. You check creatinine and eGFR in systems such as Epic Hyperspace or Cerner Millennium, give conscious sedation with midazolam and fentanyl, and watch saturation, capnography, ECG and blood pressure on monitors such as Philips IntelliVue or GE CARESCAPE. You scrub and circulate for biopsies, drainages, embolizations and stenting in a 0.35 mm to 0.50 mm lead apron and thyroid shield, treat contrast reactions with emergency kits and oxygen, then compress the puncture site and check for hematoma, bleeding and pulses.
Routine cover is an 8-hour or 10-hour day shift, 07:30 to 16:00 or 08:00 to 18:30. Interventional cover runs on a mandatory 24/7 on-call rota for stroke, bleeding and trauma cases, with a 30-minute recall perimeter. Running the scanner is 0% of this job and belongs to radiographers. The real split is 45% cannulation, sedation, monitoring and recovery, 30% scrubbing and circulating, and 25% EHR documentation, risk checks and emergency preparation.
