3DQ Lab Technologist II - 1.0 FTE Rotating (08-HR) - Hybrid

3D Lab Technologist II

The Stanford Health Care 3D and Quantitative Imaging Laboratory (3DQ Lab) is a specialized interdisciplinary center within the Stanford Department of Radiology. Its core mission is to develop and apply innovative software and visualization techniques to analyze medical imaging data. These methods directly translate complex 2D data into actionable clinical models. The lab leverages advanced image-processing platforms to support multiple medical specialties, including cardiothoracic surgery, oncology, neurosurgery, and pediatrics.

3D & 4D Visualization: Converts standard CT and MRI scans into multiplanar reconstructions, volume-rendered graphics, and virtual endoscopies. The lab uses 4D temporal rendering to assess cardiac and anatomical structures actively in motion.

The Tumor Response Assessment Criteria (TRAC) team standardizes oncology tracking. They track the precise longitudinal changes of tumor sizes over time across multi-interval follow-ups to map overall treatment effectiveness.

Surgical Navigation Support: Technologists prepare and manipulate digital models that integrate directly into operating room navigation systems, giving neurosurgeons real-time guidance during procedures.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR): Provides comprehensive volumetric measurements and mapping of the venous delivery pathway, helping cardiologists predict post-procedure device performance.

Medical 3D Printing & Modeling: Segments complex anatomies to print physical patient-specific surgical guides, custom orthotics, and full-scale bone structures for custom medical hardware.

The 3D Lab Technologist II works under limited supervision to independently perform advanced 3D post-processing and image reconstruction to support clinical imaging workflows. Works closely with radiologists and other clinicians to generate high-quality images using established and advanced protocols. Supports department operations and may assist with training and workflow coordination. Supports research activities and imaging protocols as needed. May provide guidance to junior staff and assist with workflow coordination in the absence of the Lead Technologist or Supervisor.

These principles apply to ALL employees: SHC Commitment to Providing an Exceptional Patient & Family Experience Stanford Health Care sets a high standard for delivering value and an exceptional experience for our patients and families. Candidates for employment and existing employees must adopt and execute C-I-CARE standards for all of patients, families and towards each other. C-I-CARE is the foundation of Stanford's patient-experience and represents a framework for patient-centered interactions. Simply put, we do what it takes to enable and empower patients and families to focus on health, healing and recovery. You will do this by executing against our three experience pillars, from the patient and family's perspective:

• Know Me: Anticipate my needs and status to deliver effective care
• Show Me the Way: Guide and prompt my actions to arrive at better outcomes and better health
• Coordinate for Me: Own the complexity of my care through coordination
