Pittsburgh is known for its scenic rivers and bridges, historic neighborhoods, and a thriving arts and culinary scene. Residents enjoy professional sports teams, renowned museums, outdoor recreation on extensive trail systems, and a variety of festivals and cultural events throughout the year. The city offers an affordable cost of living, diverse housing options, and easy commuting around the metro area, making it attractive for both early-career and experienced healthcare professionals.
This hospital-based role is situated in a major regional medical center with robust cardiac, neuro, and surgical services and a busy interventional department. The imaging and procedural areas are equipped with contemporary angiography suites and advanced technology focused on image quality and radiation dose reduction. You will be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team that includes interventional radiologists, nurses, anesthesiology support, and other specialists, all working together to provide high-quality, patient-centered care.
As an Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will play a critical role in the performance of minimally invasive procedures for a diverse adult patient population. Typical responsibilities include:
Preparing procedure rooms, equipment, and supplies, ensuring all imaging systems and contrast injectors are functioning and calibrated
Verifying patient identity, reviewing orders, and assisting with pre-procedure readiness under the direction of the radiologist and nursing staff
Maintaining strict sterile technique while setting up trays and participating directly in procedures
Operating fluoroscopy and angiography equipment to obtain high-quality images during vascular, neurovascular, and nonvascular interventions
Applying radiation safety principles to protect patients, staff, and yourself, including appropriate use of shielding and monitoring devices
Assisting with complex procedures such as angiograms, angioplasties, stent deployments, embolizations, thrombolysis, central venous access, drain placements, and image-guided biopsies
Monitoring patient status in collaboration with nurses and physicians, and responding appropriately during routine and emergent situations
Documenting imaging and procedural details accurately within the electronic medical record and PACS
Supporting quality and safety initiatives, including adherence to protocols, participation in timeouts, and ongoing process improvement activities
Working within a team-based environment that values communication, mutual support, and continuous learning
The interventional department supports a range of scheduled and urgent procedures. Shifts typically include day and evening coverage with rotational on-call responsibilities to support emergent cases after hours and on weekends. Patient volumes are robust, offering consistent exposure to a wide variety of procedures and pathologies, which can be a strong builder of technical expertise and a valuable addition to your professional experience.
Imaging suites are designed to promote efficient workflow and patient comfort. You will work closely with radiologists and other specialists who value technologist input and encourage ongoing professional development. This environment offers opportunities to expand your skills into specialized areas such as neurointerventional procedures, complex vascular interventions, and advanced oncology-related treatments.
