Deliver advanced imaging in a calm, patient‑centered environment — with a schedule that protects your time.

At Fairfax Radiology Centers, our MRI Technologists work in a dedicated outpatient MRI center using advanced GE 1.5T and 3T systems in an ambient, patient‑friendly setting. You’ll focus on delivering high‑quality imaging and patient care — without the unpredictability of a hospital environment.

This Role Is a Great Fit If You

• Enjoy MRI and want to deepen your expertise
• Take pride in producing high‑quality diagnostic imaging
