Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Physician orders — review and confirm prescribed MRI exams under direct supervision in a clinical imaging department.
  • Patient screening interviews — conduct using a standardized checklist to identify contraindications such as pacemakers or ferrous implants in a supervised clinical setting.
  • MRI safety protocols — follow established procedures for ferrous-object screening and zone-access control under the guidance of a senior technologist.
  • Patient medical histories — collect brief, structured histories using departmental intake forms prior to imaging procedures.
  • Comfort accessories — provide headphones or earplugs to patients and explain their purpose before scanner operation begins.
  • Patient positioning — assist in placing patients on the imaging cradle and applying basic immobilization devices under direct technologist supervision.
  • MRI scanner controls — operate standard scanner functions following step-by-step protocols on routine, uncomplicated studies.
  • Acquired images — inspect for gross-quality issues using the scanner workstation and laser camera output with supervisory review.
  • Scheduling and documentation software — enter patient data and exam orders into calendar and medical software systems accurately.
  • Active listening skills — apply during patient interactions to confirm understanding of instructions and reduce anxiety before scanning.
