Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
The posting mentions supervisory functions. Tell me about a time you guided another tech or a student through a problem.
What they are checking: Whether they can lead calmly and teach, not just do the work themselves.
Tell me about a time you had a long backlog and had to decide which patient to scan first.
What they are checking: Prioritizing by clinical urgency, such as stroke or ED patients, instead of strictly first come first served.
What would you do
A patient from the emergency department has an unknown device and cannot answer questions. What do you do?
What they are checking: Refusing to scan until the device is identified and working with the radiologist rather than giving in to pressure.
A patient starts having a reaction during a contrast injection. Talk me through your first steps.
What they are checking: Whether they act fast, stop the injection, call for help and know the department's reaction plan.
This position scans patients of all ages. How do you get a scared child or a claustrophobic adult through a long MRI?
What they are checking: Whether they can coach patients through the exam so the images are usable and the patient feels safe.
About the work
Walk me through how you screen a patient for MRI safety before they enter Zone IV.
What they are checking: Whether their screening is thorough and consistent, since one missed implant or metal object can kill someone.
How do you verify a physician order and decide when to consult the radiologist about the protocol?
What they are checking: Whether they catch orders that do not match the clinical question and fix them before the scan.
Before giving gadolinium contrast, what do you check, and what would make you stop?
What they are checking: Knowing kidney function, allergy history and reaction response, since contrast errors can cause real harm.
How do you decide whether an image is good enough or needs to be repeated?
What they are checking: Judging technical quality against what the radiologist needs, rather than sending motion-blurred images.
What do you do at the start of a weekend shift to check the scanner, coils and safety equipment?
What they are checking: Whether they take warm-up, calibration and safety checks seriously when no one else is around on weekends.
