About the role

An Interventional Radiology Technologist (IR Tech) is a specialized radiologic technologist who assists in minimally invasive procedures that use imaging guidance — such as X‑rays, CT scans, MRI, or ultrasound — to perform diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. IR Techs work closely with radiologists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals to provide optimal patient care.

Responsibilities

• Patient Preparation: Verify patient identity and procedure; prepare patients, explain the process, and alleviate concerns; assess medical history for safety; position patients correctly for imaging.
• Imaging and Procedure Assistance: Operate imaging equipment (X‑ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound) during procedures for real‑time guidance; adjust equipment settings for optimal image quality; assist in sterile setup and maintenance of equipment; document imaging and procedure details, including patient data and technical parameters.
• Equipment Maintenance and Sterilization: Clean, sterilize, and maintain interventional equipment; ensure all necessary supplies and tools are available before procedures; troubleshoot and report malfunctioning equipment.
• Clinical Support: Assist in post‑procedure care and monitoring; prepare and administer contrast agents as directed; monitor patient vital signs during procedures; collaborate with the healthcare team to ensure patient safety and comfort.
• Compliance and Documentation: Ensure compliance with safety regulations, including radiation protection; follow institutional policies and procedures; maintain accurate records of procedures and patient outcomes; adhere to patient confidentiality and HIPAA guidelines.
• Continual Learning: Stay current with new techniques and technologies in interventional radiology; participate in continuing education and training programs.

Requirements

• Completion of an accredited radiologic technology program.
• Certification in radiologic technology (RT) by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
• Additional certification in Interventional Radiology (IR) preferred (e.g., ARRT(IR)).
• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to handle stressful situations.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, team‑oriented environment.

Licensure & Certification by State

Requirements for licensure and certification vary by state. General guidelines:

• States requiring certification and/or licensure:
  • California: State licensure for radiologic technologists; IR certification required for certain advanced practices.
  • Florida: Licensure from the Florida Department of Health; additional IR certification often preferred.
  • New York: Licensure by the New York State Department of Health; specific IR credentials may be needed for certain tasks.
  • Texas: State licensure through the Texas Medical Board.
  • Massachusetts: Licensure by the Board of Registration in Medicine; IR‑specific certification may be beneficial.
• States with voluntary or less restrictive requirements: Some states (e.g., Arizona, Michigan) may not have strict licensure requirements, but professional certification (e.g., ARRT) is often preferred or required by employers.

Certification requirements may be updated regularly; IR Technologists must be aware of state‑specific rules and keep credentials current.
