Interventional Radiology Tech

Position Summary

Under moderate supervision, performs a range of diagnostic imaging procedures across Angiography, Interventional Radiology, and Diagnostic Radiology. Partners with physicians during diagnostic and therapeutic interventions while ensuring patients and families are clearly informed about procedures and special requirements.

In IR, you're in the room when it matters most - part of the intervention while it's happening, not handing off a file. No two days look alike. IR is dynamic - emergencies, complex cases, and real-time problem solving that protocol-driven modalities simply don't require. A specialty that pays off. IR carries defined specialty status, strong job security, and demand that isn't going away. The energy is real. If you thrive in OR or ED environments, IR matches that intensity. This is a calling for techs who want to be where the action is.
