MRI 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?

You spend the day in the scanner room. 20% of the shift is magnetic safety screening: you ask written and verbal checklists for ferrous metal, pacemakers, cochlear implants, surgical clips, neurostimulators, foreign bodies in orbits, and you verify implant compatibility in databases like MRISafety.com. 25% is patient positioning and coil placement: you place the person on the motorized table, attach head, knee, torso and spine surface coils, fit earplugs and headphones, give the emergency call ball, align laser crosshairs to the landmark.

35% is the core work: protocol planning and image acquisition on Siemens syngo MR, GE Healthcare SIGNA / Ready and Philips IntelliSpace Portal consoles. You select T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, STIR, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and susceptibility-weighted sequences and adjust field of view, slice thickness, TR, TE, matrix and b-values. 10% is contrast work: you check eGFR thresholds, place peripheral intravenous access, program Bayer MEDRAD Spectris Solaris injectors for gadolinium-based contrast agents. 10% is post-processing, quality checks, archiving to PACS via DICOM, and closing the RIS workflow.

Full-time is 37.5 hours per week in the United Kingdom and 38.5 hours to 40 hours per week in Europe and North America. Rosters include 12-hour rotating blocks, 7-day cover with weekends, evenings 08:00 to 20:00 or 12:00 to 20:00, and overnight emergency on-call for hyperacute stroke and spinal cord compression.
