You will maintain safety standards, document activity in EMR, and collaborate with physicians in a fast-paced radiology department.

California licensure (CRT) and ARRT CT certification are highly preferred, with 1–3+ years of CT experience.

Qualifications

• Graduate of an accredited radiologic technology program (often accredited by JRCERT).
• High school diploma or equivalent required as a minimum in many jobs, but most employers require radiologic tech schooling.
• California Radiologic Technologist License (CRT) issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is required to practice as a technologist.
• Certification/Registration with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in Radiography (R) is typically required.

• Many postings allow registry-eligible technologists to gain CT certification within 6–12 months of hire.
• Basic Life Support (BLS) is usually required.
• Venipuncture certification is often required or must be obtained soon after hire.
• Note: California does not issue a separate state CT license — CT credentialing is through ARRT and state radiologic technologist licensure.
• Entry-level CT Technologist positions may accept trainees with limited CT experience (supervised clinical hours).
• Experienced CT Technologists usually require 1–3+ years of CT experience in hospital/clinical settings.
• Experience with trauma, advanced CT protocols (e.g., CTA), and emergency workflows is preferred by some employers.

Responsibilities

• Operate and maintain CT equipment safely and according to protocol to produce clear diagnostic images.
• Prepare and position patients appropriately for CT exams to ensure diagnostic quality.
• Administer contrast agents (oral or IV) under proper protocols and monitor patients for adverse reactions.
• Review images for quality before sending to radiologists for interpretation.
• Ensure patient safety and radiation protection standards are followed, including shielding and infection control.
• Record clinical activity and maintain logs in electronic medical records (EMR).
• Communicate clearly with physicians, nurses, co-workers, and patients; provide patient education when needed.
• Participate in department quality assurance and performance improvement activities.
