An MRI technician operates MRI scanners to take images of patients’ bodies for diagnostic testing. The MRI technician, also known as an MRI technologist, is responsible for providing physicians with clear images so they can provide accurate diagnoses to patients. The MRI technician’s responsibilities include following Physicians’ instructions, explaining the MRI procedure to patients, selecting software options and imaging parameters on the MRI machine, viewing images from the imaging session, and keeping records of reports. Radiologic technologists, also known as radiographers, perform x rays and other diagnostic imaging examinations on patients. MRI technologists operate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners to create diagnostic images. A radiographer is not a medical doctor. Instead, they must complete a radiological education program that is accredited by the Joint Review Commission on Education in Radiologic Technology.
