Senior Interventional Radiology Technologist (IR / Angiography / Neuro IR) – Maryland

Salary Range: $84,697-$127,046 annually
Location: Maryland

Step into a high-impact imaging role where technical expertise, clinical judgment, and leadership come together. As a Lead Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will perform advanced imaging procedures across Interventional Radiology, Angiography, and Diagnostic Radiology while serving as a clinical resource and team lead.

Working under moderate supervision, you will collaborate directly with physicians during diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. You will also help patients and families understand each procedure, including preparation instructions, expectations, and post-procedure considerations.

What Sets This Opportunity Apart

This is not a routine, protocol-only imaging position. In Interventional Radiology, you are part of the procedure as it happens - supporting complex interventions, responding to emergencies, and solving problems in real time.

• Direct procedural involvement: Work alongside physicians during critical diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
• Meaningful variety: Encounter emergency cases, advanced procedures, and changing clinical priorities.
• Specialized career path: Build expertise in a high-demand specialty offering strong career stability.
• Fast-paced environment: Bring the focus and adaptability associated with operating room and emergency department settings.
• Leadership responsibility: Serve as a trusted resource who helps guide workflow, quality, and team performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform imaging procedures in Angiography, Interventional Radiology, and Diagnostic Radiology.
• Assist physicians with diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided procedures.
• Serve as team lead and provide clinical guidance to imaging staff.
• Prepare procedure rooms, imaging equipment, supplies, and patients.
• Explain procedures, preparation requirements, and expectations to patients and families.
• Monitor patient safety and comfort throughout procedures.
• Apply radiation protection and infection-prevention practices.
• Maintain accurate procedural documentation.
• Support efficient workflow during scheduled, urgent, and emergency cases.
• Ensure compliance with departmental policies and applicable safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

Interventional Radiology Procedures

The role may support procedures including:

• Vascular access: PICC lines, ports, tunneled catheters, central venous access, and dialysis access interventions
• Image-guided drainage: Abscess, biliary, pleural, peritoneal, and nephrostomy drain placements
• Image-guided biopsies: Liver, kidney, lung, lymph node, and soft-tissue biopsies
• Additional diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures

Neurointerventional Radiology Procedures

The position may also participate in:

• Cerebral and spinal angiography
• Endovascular aneurysm coiling
• Flow-diversion procedures
• Mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke
• AVM and AVF embolization
• Carotid and intracranial stenting
• Acute neurovascular emergency interventions

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree or equivalent completion of two years of college
• Specialized knowledge of diagnostic and interventional imaging
• Minimum of five years of relevant imaging experience
• ARRT registration
• Active Maryland Certified Medical Radiation Technologist license
• Advanced-level CT certification
• Current American Heart Association CPR certification

Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidate is a technically skilled imaging professional who remains composed during high-acuity cases, communicates clearly with patients and clinical teams, and can balance hands-on procedural responsibilities with team leadership. This role is well suited to someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to contribute directly to advanced, potentially life-saving interventions.
