Anyone know going rate of Radiology MT? - magsnfla

Posted: Oct 09, 2010

I realize it varies depending on where you live - but not by that much, I think. I applied at a local hospital in June and this morning got an email message that there was opening in the Rad Department for MT. I went ahead and sent my electronic application. No guarantee I'll even called for interview much less get the job, but I'm curious if the hospitals tend to pay by the hour or by page, etc.

The benefits are incredible and that is the reason I applied at the hospital - it would have to be a very bad pay scale to turn the job down if it were offered.

As far as I can see from the job description, it looks like it is in house and rotating weekends with a huge weekend differential.

I would give my right leg for a job at a hospital.

I've been a radiology MT for about 5 years, fell into it by accident but that's another story. I work on site and get paid hourly. I won't discuss salary because I think it varies from place to place more than you know. Couldn't tell from your message whether this is new to you or not. It's usually a really high volume of work with very quick turnaround time.

This particular job sounds like a great opportunity, hope you get an interview. Good luck!

Hello all. I am a very experienced acute care MT, 13 yrs in the business, all specialties, ESLs, all work types, etc. I have been wanting to get out of the MTSOs for quite some time.

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour.

Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...
