MRI Technologists Enter an Evolving Modality
This blog is now focused on laboratory specialties. This article is here for your information only, as jobs are no longer provided for any radiation technician specialties.
Magnetic resonance imaging has recently been used for cardiac imaging with impressive results. Some experts believe that MRI will start to become a routine method for cardiovascular evaluation. The advantage of using MRI is that it is noninvasive and it does not expose patients to radiation.
MRI Technologists are trained to scan most parts of the body, but a cardiac MRI scan is more difficult, because the heart is always in motion. MRI technologists must know the anatomy and physiology of the heart in detail in order to capture useful images. MRI Technologists are now being trained to take cardiac MRIs, and as MRI technology improves the demand will increase.
