One of the techs that trained me during extern is an MRI/CT tech. He would let me assist him by screening the patient, setting up for exams, cleaning and disinfecting the room, and he would let me sit in the room with him during procedures and he explained what he was doing every time I was there. I never considered anything past RT until then and now it's all I think about. We need more channels like this showing what we really do in the radiology world
Just found your channel today, I want to salute you bro. I've been an MRI tech since 1999. I like what you're doing, from the little I've seen so far. I encourage you to keep it up, it's good to see the younger generation motivated and positive. I especially liked when you mentioned compassion, such an important part of what we do. So few understand what we really do, it's neat to see you peeling back the curtain a bit to encourage and inspire others. God bless you and your wife.
Hello! I saw that you been an MRI tech since 1999 and I been thinking about being one too. I just wanted to know if MRI techs ever give vaccines/ deal with needles head on?
@@TheSaLViGuRL Hi Amber, thanks for you question, give vaccines, no, not inn radiology. You could probably volunteer to do that outside the hospital, but certainly not as an MRI tech. Deal with needles? Yes, most MRI techs start IV's regularly, unless you work in a really big department that has assistants or nurses that take care of that for you. I've worked in both environments. It's not that big of a deal, you can do it! I encourage you to learn more, I'll answer any question you have, if I can...
@@whitneyhull4310 DUUUUDE so sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been, and continue to be, on THE GRIND. Picked up a part time gig, and pretty much all of my free time is gone. Not complaining though, because that side hustle pays my mortgage with 12 hours of work. MRI techs are in short supply in San Antonio right now, and one of the hospitals in my system is so desperate they're paying me 133/hr to do that thing I do. I hope you come across something similar when you're trained up. The field could use some young go getters. I love to teach, been doing it a very long time. I'd enjoy giving you whatever tips and encouragement You'd like. Send me an email at mrsuperman1972@gmail.com
I've been trying to decide what I want to do with a radiography technologist degree if I pursued one. I was already interested in MRI, but this video definitely helped me decide what I want to do
I've been in construction my entire life but it's never felt like a career suited for me. Nervous to start school but I plan on starting the MRI program offered at my CC next spring. I'm not afraid of needles/injections but I'm also not really comfortable with them yet. I'm sure that will come with more exposure/time. Thanks for these videos brother they're quite helpful.
Thats awesome you are making a effort to change careers , realizing construction isn't for you. I've seen many overcome their fear of needles. Watching other people perform ivs helps desensitized your self. I've been sticking veins forever. I was a phlebotomist for 5 years before I became a tech. Overcome adversity
@@MRIMan I am and I will always encourage others to get into MRI! I used to be an adjunct professor at the local college teaching MRI Physics and working full time at a hospital doing MR. Now I'm working in a very busy outpatient MRI facility. It has been a very rewarding profession! Thank you for letting others know what we do every day!! Keep up the good work!
As an imaging physics resident this was so helpful and informative. I really enjoyed learning about your perspective and practical patient related issue you run into. Thank you!
A tip to anyone going into this field. If you are new and going to an interview make sure they provide you with a registered tech, the ARRT is kind of vague on their sight but it seems the way I understand it, a MRI registered tech has to be able to vouch and sign off on your stuff not just a diagnostic Xray tech in mri. So in the interview make sure they have a registered tech, make sure they are BUSY. If they are slow, you won’t get the exams you need, and make sure you are not working alone most of the time, these are situations I’ve landed in and now I’m in a contract and I’m stuck just pushing buttons for the next two years. Again, find a busy place. Be ready to work, don’t be a lazy ass, if you want the easy road then by all means skip the registry and work at a clinic, you can take that easy road. But if you can obtain the diagnostic/CT/MRI registries the opportunists are as vast as a nurse and you can fetch way more cash than the average tech. That’s #1 reason why we are here the cash.
Thank you for this information. I do have a few questions. I’m 42 and considering going into this field. Is it too late for me/ do they not like to hire people who are older in age? Also, what does the pay range from when you first start out?
Thank you for allowing us to see the day of a life of an MRI man. 🤙 You and many others have me interested in Radiology. Thank you! 🥰 Can not wait to pursue this path. Lets go!!!
@@SuperRockon4ever It’s honestly just a more affordable route, I live in California and the MRI programs are ridiculously expensive! By going to radiology school first I can just cross train into the field or do a 1 year online program for a third of the amount that I would pay.
This takes me back to when I would show xray students around MR when they'd rotate through. This is almost exactly the introduction they would get (minus what I did at home lol)
This seems so chill bro, you got some windows, the back room looks nice and quiet, doesn’t seem like you have a bunch of annoying co workers. I’ve been knocking out prerequisites since last year I’m so close to applying for a 2 year program through the community college here. Coming from almost 6 years straight of call center inbound customer service, really hope I get accepted. Thanks for the detailed videos man there’s not a lot of videos showing all the little details and shots inside the actual work place it really gives a more clear idea of what it’s like 👍🏽
Thanks bro! I appreciate your feedback . It took forever to get approved to film at work. I also took my time making this video ti make sure I put as much detail as I could. I will make another one! I hope you get into the program soon! All in allnI have great coworkers and it is a good work environment. I love my job and what I do. Stay motivated! I came along way a day worked double shifts and still have a ways to go. These Tesla just make sense to me. Great for the environment, no gas, no engine maintenance, safe for my family and super fun to drive. Anything is possible
It really does. It took over a year to get this video off the ground. If you really think about it, it mite have taken my whole MRI career. I had also get clearance from my job to film which wasn't that easy. Ey follow me on instagram too @therealmriman . Easy way to hit me up too.!
Oh that looks like a really fun job. Thanks for the day in the life! Also really enjoyed that you talked about wrong orders, late patients, just things that happen on the daily. Wasn't until I was in the hospital for clinicals (echo sono) that I even noticed this was a thing. Can't wait to see what else you got for us!
@@MRIMan The MIR went smooth thanks. The only problem was I had to have an IV Cannula and my veins were hard to find. Other than that my day was good and I even watched a movie inside the MR!
Oh and I forgot to say. The results came out fine and there was just a small Craniopharyngioma that’s growing in my head. The doctors said it’s normal because I had that since I was 2.
This just makes me want to pursue RT after I get my cert for LMRT even more. I got (🤞🏼) 4 more weeks before extern and then 500hrs to log to graduate not counting the certification test itself.
I am glad I found your page, I’ve been feeling a bit lost lately when it comes to my career. I wanted to nursing at first but I was like « phew too much money to get the education and too emotionally demanding » (not everything is about making money) but I am really considering MT after some tense research lol… wish me the best of luck 😊✌🏽
I believe it’s up to the tech to have the gantry room up-kept. If your zone 4 is unorganized, I wouldn’t want to be scanned by that tech. The unorganized state of mind transfers to scan quality.
I audibly went "bro... brooo stop what are you doing!" when you were showing the magnetic effect on the BP cuff lmao. Cant wait to start working as an MRI tech lol
This is the most informational MRI video I've seen so far, so thank you for this. For me, most helpful is hearing about what set backs can happen with patients or even equipment and how to address them, and how to plan your slices/alignment/parameters. Question: If you were just getting out of school/externship and looking for a job, what advice can you share in terms of what type of work environment/standards/pay/red flags to look out for?
Do I need to know human anatomy like the back of my hand? I appreciate you showing this as.I am interested in this and doing travel. I read that I may have to assist the physician in finding out what's wrong with the patient is this true?
Hey man, thank you for sharing. Is the photo of heather available for sale? I'd love to get a copy of it! Your channel is so informative I'm actually gaining enough data to make a more educated decision as to what career path I choose.
I'm currently a EMT and am looking to advance my career. Being an emt has shown me that I don't want to be responsible for patient's lives lol its so stressful and the pay is not worth it. Any schools you recommend for MRI tech? Thanks for the vids man
Thanks for the video best mri video on RUclips very informative and straight to the point and its very motivating for me thanks keep up the good work bro i liked and subscribed
Thanks for the video bro, I’m just starting my MRI core classes, it’s awesome to see how your workspace area looks and what your workday is like 👍 keep up the good content 💯
I’ve only working as an MR tech for a year, so it’s great to see other facilities and their setup. Thanks for sharing! I’m new here - is your wife also an MR tech?
Hi I was considering being an mri tech bc I have a medical history where I had mris every year. Because of that, as an 18 year old, I strangely know a lot of things about mris lol. I think the technology is really cool. Did you attend a 4 year university? How did you get through it?
Cool. i tried so hard to get into the MRT courses back then. as an industrial ultrasonic/radiographic technician right now, i wonder how is it compering to what i do now.
I have a question. Do you need to work as a x ray tech first and then cross train as an MRI tech or can you work straight out of Radiology tech school as an MRI tech? I am considering this career.
sick video thanks just applied for gurnick academy and i am very excited for the opportunity to have an awesome job/career and for the positive effects that come with it.
I wish I was brave enough to go to school for this. I’ve been looking to get out of my kinda work cuz my body can’t take it anymore and the only thing I came across that I found interesting is this but I don’t think I’m smart enough to do it. I struggled bad in high school so that just makes me doubt myself. I don’t even really know where to start to become one either.
Been thinking about getting into this career. I already have a bachelors, however, I am not finding schools that will let you go to MRI directly and want you to do a RT first.
There’s quite a few programs where you can get an associates in radiologic technology and get certified in X ray, CT, and MRI in about just three years
Da GOAT = MRI Man! Seriously though, thanks for this video. I am curious what is the deal with co-workers on shift? Is it normally just you and a manager everyday?
🔥 yehhhhh! .. Actually we have 2 magnets back to back with 3 techs during the day. Right across the hall is CT and xray. It gets really busy . Also in the facility is Ultrasound. I couldn't cover everything. I want to some day
Thanks for your videos. I have a question about loudness of the machines. Is that ever an issue for you as a tech? I’m guessing you’re usually in the other room, or can wear ear protection as you showed. I just like to protect my ears because I have tinnitus, and highly interested in becoming mri tech. Thanks again!
What would i need to do in case of someone denying me sedation? Im medically complex and i often require mris for various different things my last one was because of an infection of my foot so i went in feet first i have high anxiety when it comes to having imaging the noise of the mri triggers it even with hearing protection i asked for it and got told i would be okay i was going in feet first i wasnt okay at all i came out full anxiety attack and no one seem to care in the radiology department
I was sold when i saw the Tesla lol. But seriously i was torn between nursing, sonography, and rad. After seeing this...I feel like I would enjoy working in MRI. I'm less than 3 semesters away from completing with my Rad tech ARRT so do you think i can get a job as a MRI Tech with that?
Nice video bro. I just came across your channel and subscribed 👍🏻. I’ve been working as a Angiography Tech for about 4 years and just lately changed path to work as a MRI Tech.
It is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad that I find your channel. I want to become certified in mammography. Can I go straight to MRI school then advance in mammography later? Or I have to become a Rad technician first?
16:37 so what comes up in the box is called a slice and what the radiologist will see? Can it be extended if needed? Or are the numbers 1 to 27 each a slice but the box is the field of view?
Motivating! I have an MRI scan in a few days and before I found it quite strange with those loud noises but thanks to you I've seen how interesting it really is!
I’m in externship now . I get confused with my slices sometimes when planning . Can you give me any tips ? Also, can you make a videos about planning ? Thanks
I process over 30 PT on a daily basis for 3 MR rooms in the facility that I work for in Miami. The mornings are always busy since we get the contrast PT's & not only I/V's but also Labs are needed for renal failure PT/Diabetic over 60 y/o. Prescriptions or referral are far from perfect and they randomly correct. Calling for new RX is a daily tasks while informing the PT about the situation; quintessential. I'm year into my Tech ARRT certification board exam/school 🎒 one more to go. MRI has been challenging since they one but if you're in this field you're getting a constant reward by helping every single one of them, one case at a time, one day at a time. I'd like to believe something that I get to se the inside' before the DR.s 😄🤙🏼
This is very insightful and helpful to see what the work environment is ACTUALLY like day to day. This looks like a pretty cool job. Especially once you have your confidence and flow down pat.
Please , I need an honest answer to my question : I am a 51 years old man thinking about going back to school to become an MRI technician. What do you think?

I appreciate you! And good luck! Let me know how it goes
I’ve only working as an MR tech for a year, so it’s great to see other facilities and their setup. Thanks for sharing!
I’m new here - is your wife also an MR tech?
Hi thanks for watching . Yes she is a MRI Tech
Thinking about going to school for this but Im not too sure….. great video though.
Forsure, it's definitely not for everyone. Really do your research.
Hi I was considering being an mri tech bc I have a medical history where I had mris every year. Because of that, as an 18 year old, I strangely know a lot of things about mris lol. I think the technology is really cool. Did you attend a 4 year university? How did you get through it?
I am x ray tech in Morocco that great what you doing
Cool. i tried so hard to get into the MRT courses back then. as an industrial ultrasonic/radiographic technician right now, i wonder how is it compering to what i do now.
Great work man. Love the way you present it. I have a mri tech interview coming up this week. hope it will help in my interview
Awesome that's great! I'm happy to help !
Fun video man. MRI Tech since 2010 here. :)
Thanks!
what is your starting salary fresh out of school?? And what is your max salary with years of experience under your belt??? Please I need to know.
Check my one of recent videos. I went over salaries for the whole nation!
I have a question. Do you need to work as a x ray tech first and then cross train as an MRI tech or can you work straight out of Radiology tech school as an MRI tech? I am considering this career.
I wonder this too
Coils and the table work with the magnet to create the image not just the coil
sick video thanks just applied for gurnick academy and i am very excited for the opportunity to have an awesome job/career and for the positive effects that come with it.
I wish I was brave enough to go to school for this. I’ve been looking to get out of my kinda work cuz my body can’t take it anymore and the only thing I came across that I found interesting is this but I don’t think I’m smart enough to do it. I struggled bad in high school so that just makes me doubt myself. I don’t even really know where to start to become one either.
Been thinking about getting into this career. I already have a bachelors, however, I am not finding schools that will let you go to MRI directly and want you to do a RT first.
There’s quite a few programs where you can get an associates in radiologic technology and get certified in X ray, CT, and MRI in about just three years
and it’s here !! thanks for uploading man !
Finally!
Da GOAT = MRI Man! Seriously though, thanks for this video. I am curious what is the deal with co-workers on shift? Is it normally just you and a manager everyday?
🔥 yehhhhh! .. Actually we have 2 magnets back to back with 3 techs during the day. Right across the hall is CT and xray. It gets really busy . Also in the facility is Ultrasound. I couldn't cover everything. I want to some day
@@MRIMan Cool, man! I like having some comradery with coworkers and all.
Awesome video sir! I am currently looking to pursue this career when I get out of the military in a couple months. Your videos are great!
That is great to hear! All the techs I know who were in the military are tremendous workers . Keep in touch
@@MRIMan What degree did you get before? I am going to try to get an associates in radiologic technology but I was curious to know which one you got.
Associates degree in science
One of the best videos! Keep it up dude👍🏾
Its one of my favorites forsure! Finally happened!
This is awesome! Please do more videos like this because these are aspirational for us students.
Forsure! We will
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!! Thank you thank you!!!!
👏
good video thanks for the mri sample and info.
MRI made easy
Thanks for your videos. I have a question about loudness of the machines. Is that ever an issue for you as a tech? I’m guessing you’re usually in the other room, or can wear ear protection as you showed. I just like to protect my ears because I have tinnitus, and highly interested in becoming mri tech. Thanks again!
Yeh we it r not loud at all for us on the other side
So you do contrast dye first or last when doing MRI of brain with and without
Last
How do you know how much contrast a patient gets?
By weight we have a chart
What would i need to do in case of someone denying me sedation? Im medically complex and i often require mris for various different things my last one was because of an infection of my foot so i went in feet first i have high anxiety when it comes to having imaging the noise of the mri triggers it even with hearing protection i asked for it and got told i would be okay i was going in feet first i wasnt okay at all i came out full anxiety attack and no one seem to care in the radiology department
Thanks, bro.
I was sold when i saw the Tesla lol. But seriously i was torn between nursing, sonography, and rad. After seeing this...I feel like I would enjoy working in MRI. I'm less than 3 semesters away from completing with my Rad tech ARRT so do you think i can get a job as a MRI Tech with that?
forsure! thanks ! im glad I could help!
Love the video man, this would’ve been great to see as a student. What area are u based out of?
Thanks! Yes I wish I had a video like this when I was a student. We didn't see a machine til clinicals. Based out of California!
i have a vp shunt and everytime i'd have to be scanned, i'd have to book an appointment at the neurologist to reprogram the shunt after the scan
Do you suggest getting diagnostic rad tech before going into MRI?
Nice video bro.
I just came across your channel and subscribed 👍🏻.
I’ve been working as a Angiography Tech for about 4 years and just lately changed path to work as a MRI Tech.
Thank you that is awesome. Also follow me on instagram! @therealmriman
@@MRIMan reached to your yt channel from your instagram, your posts are hilarious 😂
Forsure 🔥 thanks!
It is a great video. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad that I find your channel. I want to become certified in mammography. Can I go straight to MRI school then advance in mammography later? Or I have to become a Rad technician first?
What is your work schedule like?
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
16:37 so what comes up in the box is called a slice and what the radiologist will see? Can it be extended if needed?
Or are the numbers 1 to 27 each a slice but the box is the field of view?
Would you recommend doing X-ray (CRT?) and MRI?
Highly recommend that!
Motivating!
I have an MRI scan in a few days and before I found it quite strange with those loud noises but thanks to you I've seen how interesting it really is!
Wonderful!
@@MRIMan I actually enjoyed it very much!
I’m in externship now . I get confused with my slices sometimes when planning . Can you give me any tips ? Also, can you make a videos about planning ? Thanks
Sure what body part would you like to learn?
Did you start in X-Ray first or just jump straight to MRI?
I went straight to MRI
Thanks for the videos
🔥 forsure follow me on instagram too! @therealmriman. Do you have any suggestions for videos?
dude this is so cool please make more
Wish I could but the new place I work they said I can't film
I process over 30 PT on a daily basis for 3 MR rooms in the facility that I work for in Miami. The mornings are always busy since we get the contrast PT's & not only I/V's but also Labs are needed for renal failure PT/Diabetic over 60 y/o. Prescriptions or referral are far from perfect and they randomly correct. Calling for new RX is a daily tasks while informing the PT about the situation; quintessential. I'm year into my Tech ARRT certification board exam/school 🎒 one more to go. MRI has been challenging since they one but if you're in this field you're getting a constant reward by helping every single one of them, one case at a time, one day at a time. I'd like to believe something that I get to se the inside' before the DR.s 😄🤙🏼
Do you do IVS IN the Hand or Arm????
Arm and hand!
Have you done Liver MRI IV CONTRAST????
This is very insightful and helpful to see what the work environment is ACTUALLY like day to day. This looks like a pretty cool job. Especially once you have your confidence and flow down pat.
Thanks I appreciate that! I love my job and what I do for the community.
Hello, I’m looking into MRI and I wanted to know is it mandatory to know how to do an IV? I’m not fond with needles or blood. 😬
Yes we must obtain a IV license during the program. But many get over this fear!
Ohh wow nice routine
In india totaly deferent lifestyle of mri tech
Thanks. A MRI tech routine in India would be interesting to see!
Question 🙋🏾♀️ do you have to do rad tech first in order to do mri
No!

I am a 51 years old man thinking about going back to school to become an MRI technician.
