Job Summary
The Biomagnetic Imaging Technologist will perform duties related to
the support and coordination of clinical and research studies
performed at the UCSF Biomagnetic Imaging Lab (BIL).
Incumbents will perform assessments in the study of various
conditions affecting the human brain, such as brain tumors,
epilepsy, dementias, schizophrenia, voice disorders, hearing
impairments (patients and/or research participants).
Under supervision, incumbents will perform the range of
magnetoencephalography exams outlined in the series concept,
including resting-state, evoked-potential and event-related task
assessments. This is the journey-level class in the series.
Incumbents may also perform other studies such as transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS) and psychophysical testing under
supervision and direction of a trained licensed senior lab
personnel.
Incumbents typically take medical histories as they relate to
neurological diagnosis; prepare and position participants
(primarily patients) for the conduct of magnetoencephalography,
electroencephalographic, electromyographic, and/or evoked field
examinations; apply suitable electrodes, sensors, and fiducial
coils to predetermined, measured positions on participants and
check their performance; set up equipment-such as earphones,
somatosensory stimulators, movement monitoring devices-for evoked
field studies and instruct patients on how to correctly perform
various tasks while scanning; calibrate and adjust the apparatus;
replace faulty components as necessary; select predetermined sensor
combinations and determine sensor combinations to define focal
abnormalities during examinations; under supervision and training,
learn to interpret the graphic output during the test recording and
modify the test appropriately; observe patients during tests and
indicate all artifacts interfering with a true recording (e.g.,
removable metallic devices, muscle movement, eye blinking,
swallowing and poorly applied electrodes) as guided by supervisors
and other senior lab personnel; document study procedures and
measurements, and designate all abnormal clinical manifestations
observed during the test.
In case of encountering patients with any non-removable medical
devices that could cause artifacts in the scanner, incumbent will
coordinate with medical staff to temporarily stop devices (eg, VNS)
during the exam, when appropriate.
Incumbents will monitor all sensors; monitor behavioral state and
performance of patients; maintain patient records; perform exam
procedures (such as running in-house lab software programs on
collected data, extracting numbers and figures from these programs)
for technical reporting based on the sensor recordings; and perform
other related clerical work.
Incumbents will take detailed notes of any events during scans such
as seizures, excessive movement, difficulty with task performance,
technical problems, etc., and will communicate this information
with those preparing reports. During or immediately following
scans, incumbents will prepare tech reports noting details of the
scan.
The final salary and offer components are subject to additional
approvals based on UC policy.
Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of
factors including your work experience and internal equity within
this position classification at UCSF. For positions that are
represented by a labor union, placement within the salary range
will be guided by the rules in the collective bargaining
agreement.
The salary range for this position is $54.70 (Hourly Rate).
