About MRI Jobs
Clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues can be made with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This test uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to provide images. The procedure helps diagnosing problems in all parts of the body. MRI is unique because it can also create detailed images of blood vessels without the use of contrast material. However there is a movement toward using special non-iodinated contrast material like gadolinium. Specialized equipment is used to perform a MRI. The conventional machine is a large cylinder magnet where a patient must lie still while the test is being preformed. (Source: radiologyinfo.com)
General Radiologist, High income
Reason for this 8-member group's search is related to desiring to have a ninth partner and have a few more weeks off per year. This is a very busy, very high income group and it may be an ideal setting for someone looking for a place to earn in upper 3-4% of radiologists in the U.S. In addition, you can also expect to have a great amount of time off. They cover multiple hospitals and the closest someone could feasibly live to St. Louis (the closest major city) is 30 minutes. But it is an excellent opportunity for someone with practice experience who is perhaps already used to doing 25K+ exams per year, but not getting paid as well for it. Clinically, they need a general radiologist able to do everything except high level interventional. If someone does bring angiography skills along with kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty etc. experience they can definitely use them. But it is not a must (beyond biopsy and drainage skills) and they definitely need someone that can read mammography. It is a general practice where everyone pretty much does everything and accommodating someone not willing to do mammography is not really feasible for them. The equipment is good at all of their hospitals and all of their hospitals have been on PACS for a couple of years. So, the efficiency of the practice has improved over the years and their volume is getting easier every year to keep up with. They have had a nighthawk service in place for nearly five years, which makes everything more manageable. The group is 11+ years old and they have been successful over the years recruiting top notch people with practice experience that come from well respected training programs. They are ready to talk to interested and qualified candidates today that can get an Illinois license and start practicing with them by the end of the year or early 2010, but more interested in practicing/seasoned radiologists that those coming straight out of training. Call or email/fax your CV for more details.
