• Ensure all scans are properly identified with patient and exam information.
• Complete administrative tasks related to procedures (tech edits, patient escorting).
• Report equipment malfunctions promptly.
• Communicate findings (“wet reading”) to physicians and relevant departments.

• Graduate of an AMA-approved educational program in Radiological Technology.
• 3-5 years of CT technologist experience.
• Experience with GE equipment, specifically GE VCT and Evo/Evolution scanners, is required (GE experience is a deal breaker).
