Mobile Imaging Technologist

What these technologists image

Patients imaged at skilled nursing facilities, correctional sites and in-home settings.

What the shift actually looks like

Driving a route between facilities with a portable unit, imaging independently, and managing your own schedule and equipment. Autonomy is complete.

Credentials and certifications

Typically required

ARRT (R); state license; valid driving licence

Workload basis

Route-based

What to specify when you send the req

Territory, daily study volume, equipment and on-call structure.

Why this role is hard to fill

Autonomy and driving burden define this role more than clinical complexity. Describe the route honestly.

What candidates ask before accepting

Answering these in the req itself shortens the process considerably, because they are the questions that otherwise surface at offer stage and cause declines: Territory size, daily study volume, equipment condition, driving expectations and on-call.

Contract or permanent?

Contract restores scanner uptime immediately; permanent fixes the structural gap. Many facilities deliberately run both, so a traveller holds the schedule while a permanent search proceeds without pressure. Contract-to-hire works particularly well here because modality competence is obvious within weeks on your own equipment.

Licensure

Imaging licensure is state-by-state with no portability. Roughly eleven states do not license individual technologists at all, regulating instead at facility or equipment-operator level — where that applies, verification of registry status and continuing competency falls to you rather than a state board. ARRT is the primary registry across modalities.

How we work this req

Every candidate is spoken to before you see them, with licensure for your state, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed before submittal. We screen to the credential the unit actually needs rather than the title on the posting. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
