$25,000 Sign On Bonus for offers accepted by November 30, 2025. Terms and Conditions apply. The Interventional Radiology Technologist (EP Lab Tech II) performs radiographic and related procedures involving ionizing radiation for patients of all ages (newborn to geriatric). The technologist administers procedures in diagnostic, therapeutic, or research contexts and works under a licensed independent practitioner (LIP). The role integrates scientific knowledge, technical skills, patient interaction, and compassionate care to support diagnostic information and/or therapeutic outcomes. Responsibilities
Determine radiographic exposure factors. Assist the LIP with fluoroscopic and specialized interventional radiographic procedures; perform non-interpretive fluoroscopy as prescribed by a LIP. Start and maintain intra-arterial access as prescribed by a LIP; participate in physiologic monitoring of patients. Perform manual and mechanical hemostasis, including use of closure devices, while assisting the LIP. Apply patient safety principles during all radiographic procedures; assist and transport patients as needed. Receive, relay, and document verbal, written, and electronic imaging orders in the patient’s medical record; corroborate clinical history with the ordered procedure for use by a LIP. Verify informed consent and assume responsibility for patient needs before, during, and after procedures. Prepare patients for procedures and apply ALARA principles to minimize exposure to patients, self, and others. Perform venipuncture and establish intravenous access per procedural protocol based on imaging orders from a LIP. Identify, prepare, and/or administer medications commonly associated with diagnostic imaging procedures as prescribed by a LIP. Evaluate images for technical quality and ensure proper identification is recorded. Identify and escalate emergency situations and manage until the appropriate LIP, EMS, MERT, RRT, or Code Team assumes control. Provide patient education related to imaging procedures. Educate, mentor, and oversee students and other learners in the Radiology environment. Participate in and/or perform ongoing quality assurance activities.
