What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Physician orders — independently review and reconcile prescribed exam protocols against patient history to confirm clinical appropriateness.
  • Contraindication screening — conduct thorough patient interviews to identify pregnancy, tattoos, prosthetic valves, and implanted devices with minimal oversight.
  • Imaging coil selection — choose appropriate coils and pulse sequences for common anatomical regions based on prescribed exam requirements.
  • MRI scanner operation — perform routine and moderately complex scans, adjusting parameters for patient size and clinical indication in a busy outpatient setting.
  • Patient positioning and immobilization — position patients accurately for varied body-part studies and secure immobilization devices to reduce motion artifact.
  • Image quality assessment — evaluate MRI images for diagnostic adequacy using workstation tools and laser camera output, flagging non-diagnostic sequences for repeat acquisition.
  • Medical histories — take concise, focused clinical histories that inform protocol selection and flag potential safety concerns.
  • Patient communication — explain MRI procedures, noise levels, and expected duration clearly to reduce anxiety and improve cooperation.
  • Electronic health record documentation — enter exam findings, patient responses, and protocol details into medical software accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Intravenous contrast preparation — assist with contrast agent administration procedures following established department safety guidelines.
