Your duties as a Medical Imagining Technology (MIT) certified person may fluctuate depending on the type of health care facility you working on. In general, you’ll be working with Medical imaging equipment to capture an image of an area of concern inside a patient’s body to get an insight into the underlying issue. You’ll also be making some preparatory assessments of the images before the images are given off to a doctor or a specialist. Your duties will mostly include:

Preparing patients for the imaging process Prepare and maintain the imaging equipment Accurately position the patient to get the right image as per the concern Operate equipment efficiently to get proper diagnostic images Understand the basic difference between a normal and an unusual image Analyze images for preliminary findings Write a report on the patient to physicians about images Maintain patients’ imaging records

There could be variations exist among imaging technicians’ duties—radiologists use a radiation shield to protect patients whereas a sonographer does not but overall the roles are similar.
