MRI / CT Technologist – Veterinary Specialty Imaging

Veterinary Surgical Centers-Vienna

MRI / CT Technologist – Veterinary Specialty Imaging

Veterinary Surgical Centers (VSC) – Vienna, VA Full Time

Bring your MRI or CT experience into veterinary specialty medicine.

Veterinary Surgical Centers is looking for an experienced MRI / CT Technologist to join our advanced imaging team in Vienna, Virginia.

This is not a traditional veterinary X-ray position. This role is focused on advanced diagnostic imaging, including MRI and CT, while working alongside specialty veterinarians, neurologists, surgeons, and anesthesia professionals.

Coming from human medicine? We want to hear from you.

Veterinary experience is welcome, but it is not required. If you have hands-on MRI or CT experience in human healthcare and are interested in applying your skills in a new and rewarding environment, our team can help you learn the veterinary side of imaging and patient care.

What You'll Do

Advanced MRI & CT Imaging

  • Prepare and position veterinary patients for MRI and CT procedures
  • Operate MRI and CT equipment according to established imaging and safety protocols
  • Acquire high-quality diagnostic images while minimizing repeat scans
  • Assist specialists with advanced imaging studies and case preparation
  • Maintain accurate imaging and patient documentation
  • Help coordinate imaging schedules and workflow to support timely patient care

Anesthesia & Patient Care

Many veterinary MRI and CT patients require sedation or general anesthesia. In this role, you will work closely with our clinical and anesthesia teams to provide safe, attentive patient care throughout the imaging process.

You will:

  • Assist with monitoring sedated and anesthetized patients during imaging procedures
  • Recognize changes in patient status and communicate concerns promptly
  • Support safe patient positioning, preparation, recovery, and transport

No veterinary anesthesia experience? Candidates with strong MRI/CT backgrounds may still be considered. We are willing to train the right imaging professional in veterinary-specific patient monitoring and workflows.

Safety & Equipment

  • Follow MRI, CT, anesthesia, and radiation safety protocols
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe imaging environment
  • Ensure equipment is ready for use and report operational concerns promptly
  • Use appropriate PPE and dosimetry when required
  • Support departmental safety and quality standards

Who We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you have:

  • Hands-on MRI and/or CT experience
  • Experience working as an MRI Technologist, CT Technologist, Radiologic Technologist, or similar imaging professional
  • Strong attention to detail and imaging quality
  • A commitment to patient safety
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • The ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced specialty environment
  • The physical ability to safely assist with positioning and moving patients

Veterinary experience is preferred — not required.

We strongly encourage applications from:

  • MRI Technologists
  • CT Technologists
  • Veterinary technicians with MRI/CT experience
  • Imaging professionals interested in transitioning from human healthcare into veterinary specialty medicine

Why VSC?

At Veterinary Surgical Centers, advanced imaging plays an essential role in diagnosing and treating complex specialty cases.

You will work alongside experienced surgeons, neurologists, anesthesiology and nursing teams, and other specialty professionals while using advanced imaging technology to help provide exceptional care to veterinary patients.

This is an opportunity to take the imaging expertise you already have and apply it in a specialty environment where every scan can directly influence a patient's diagnosis and treatment plan.

Benefits

Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match up to 4% after six months of employment
  • Generous paid time off
  • Annual continuing education allowance
  • Uniform allowance
  • Mental health resources
  • Company-paid bonding leave or applicable state-provided bonding leave

Plus benefits for your own pets:

  • Discounts on veterinary services and products
  • Discounts on reference laboratory testing
  • Discounts on Purina pet foods
  • Pet insurance discounts through our preferred vendor

Rarebreed Veterinary Partners is a purpose-driven team that places talent first by supporting professionals to thrive in our industry and empowering hospital teams to provide exceptional care for pets and their owners. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to create exceptional work experiences for our hospital teams. We focus on providing our hospitals with the best culture, tools, and support to allow the staff to focus on what they love most: caring for our animal companions.

Employment will require the successful completion of references and background check.
