Magnetic resonance imaging is one of several methods used to reveal the body's internal structures and functions for research and diagnostic purposes. Through the use of a strong magnetic field and radio pulses, MRI technicians can create detailed images of tissues throughout the body. It's especially useful for soft tissues concealed by bones and other dense tissues, in areas such as the brain and joints.
General medical and surgical hospitals, as well as physician offices employ many MRI techs, but these are typically the lowest paying industries for MRI technicians. Newly graduated radiologic technicians certified to perform MRIs can realistically expect to earn around $15 an hour or $30,000 to $35,000 annually. As an MRI tech gains experience, obtains additional certifications, and climbs the corporate ladder, the salary will grow accordingly.
