About
As a CT Technologist, you will be responsible for preparing patients for CT procedures by verifying patient identity, explaining exams in a compassionate and reassuring manner, assessing for contraindications such as contrast allergies or impaired kidney function, and positioning patients correctly to obtain optimal images. You will operate advanced CT scanners and related equipment, select appropriate imaging protocols, adjust technical factors based on patient size and clinical indication, and monitor image quality in real time to minimize repeat scans. You will administer IV contrast media as appropriate, adhering strictly to Methodist Health System policies and evidence-based guidelines, and closely monitor patients for any signs of adverse reactions.
You will maintain a strong focus on radiation safety by applying ALARA principles, using shielding and dose-reduction technologies, and documenting dose indices in accordance with regulatory standards and institutional policies. Your responsibilities will include verifying physician orders, reviewing prior imaging studies and electronic medical records for relevant history, and collaborating with radiologists to clarify protocols or imaging needs when necessary. You will prioritize and coordinate workflows to support urgent and STAT cases from the Emergency Department and critical care units, while maintaining efficiency and accuracy for scheduled outpatients.
The CT Technologist will also be responsible for daily equipment checks, basic troubleshooting, and coordinating with biomedical engineering or vendor support when issues arise to ensure minimal downtime. You will follow stringent infection prevention and control practices, including proper room turnover, equipment disinfection, and personal protective equipment use. Accurate and timely documentation in the electronic health record and radiology information systems is expected, including exam details, contrast usage, patient responses, and any incidents or variances.
In alignment with Methodist Health System’s culture of integrity, compassion, and accountability, you will provide respectful, inclusive care to patients and families from diverse backgrounds, offering clear communication and emotional support during what can be stressful diagnostic experiences. You will participate in ongoing education, staff meetings, and quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing imaging quality, patient safety, and workflow efficiency. Collaboration with colleagues in nursing, emergency medicine, and other specialties is essential, as you may support cross-departmental initiatives and assist with training newly hired or student technologists.
The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, dependable professional who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced hospital environment and is committed to upholding high technical standards as well as compassionate bedside care. Methodist Health System offers competitive compensation and benefits, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to our mission of improving and saving lives across Texas through high-quality, patient-centered healthcare.
