What is an IR Tech?

An IR Tech, or Interventional Radiology Technologist, is a healthcare professional who assists radiologists in performing minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using imaging technology such as X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound. They are responsible for preparing patients, operating imaging equipment, maintaining sterile environments, and assisting during procedures.
