magnetic field, radiofrequency pulse) to obtain high-quality images
as prescribed by the physician. - Position patients on the MRI
table, ensuring they are comfortable and aligned to capture the
correct images while adhering to safety standards. - Administer
contrast agents as prescribed by the physician to enhance image
clarity, ensuring the patient is monitored for adverse reactions. -

high-resolution images. - Monitor the MRI process to confirm
quality imaging, making adjustments to the settings or positioning
as necessary. 3. Patient Safety and Comfort: - Ensure patient

are obtained and the patient’s needs are met. - Work with other
healthcare professionals to review images, assess the need for
follow-up scans, and discuss patient conditions. - Collaborate with
radiologists to ensure the final images meet diagnostic standards
and are transmitted accurately to the appropriate physician for
review. 7. Documentation and Record-Keeping: - Document all
relevant patient information and scan results in the electronic

accurate. - Ensure that imaging data is properly labeled and
uploaded into the system, and assist with reports or communications
