PET Molecular Imaging Technologist
Contract: 3 months (W2) | Location: Houston, TX (Onsite) | Schedule: Primarily Wednesday–Saturday, full-time hours, with flexibility based on patient volume
What your week looks like
It’s Wednesday morning in our fast-paced Houston imaging center. You review the day’s PET schedule, prep tracers, and ready the suite. Your first patient arrives—anxious but curious. You complete a thorough assessment, place an IV, and explain the PET process. With ALARA front of mind, you administer the radiopharmaceutical, position the patient, and capture high-quality images. Between cases, you verify records, restock supplies, and ensure radioactive materials logs are precise and compliant. A critical finding appears on an afternoon scan—you promptly escalate it to the clinical team. By Saturday, you’ve supported care both in the PET suite and at an off-site location, collaborating with colleagues and sharing best practices. Recent graduates bring fresh energy—and are paired with experienced technologists for hands-on training.
