Take the next step as a Interim CT Technologist at a critical access hospital known for modern imaging services and a collaborative radiology team on an interim assignment serving eastern Montana communities.

If you’re exploring a career move without a long-term commitment, this is a smart way to align with a stable, well-supported imaging service where your expertise is respected, your voice is heard, and onboarding is efficient so you can contribute quickly; the healthcare organization offers a collegial culture, approachable leaders, thoughtful staffing, and the kind of autonomy CT professionals appreciate—paired with workflow support that lets you deliver consistently high-quality studies.

In this Computed Tomography environment, you’ll join a tight-knit CT Imaging team within Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology that balances ED, inpatient, and outpatient work typical of a rural access setting; the facility’s modern imaging services support bread-and-butter CT exams (neuro, chest, abdomen/pelvis, spine) as well as contrast-enhanced and trauma add-ons, with pragmatic protocols, efficient coordination through PACS/RIS, and a day-to-day rhythm that rewards sound judgment, communication, and steady hands under pressure; as an Interim CT Technologist or Travel CT Technologist, you’ll find the pace varies with the season and community needs, and the team structure makes it straightforward to collaborate with radiologists, nursing, and the ED—keeping throughput smooth while maintaining safety and image quality standards for patients from across the region.

• Defined-length interim assignment with realistic expectations and clear start-up support 🤝
• Critical access hospital setting that values clinician autonomy and fast decision-making
• Collaborative radiology team where radiologists are accessible and technologists are trusted
• Scheduling that may include days/evenings/weekends and shared call typical of rural coverage
• Modern imaging services with streamlined protocols and reliable post-processing
• Meaningful work serving eastern Montana communities—patients know and appreciate their caregivers 🏔️
• Credible volumes and case mix that keep skills sharp without big-city bureaucracy
• Support from ancillary departments—ED, Lab, Nursing—so patient flow stays on track

Reporting is to the Imaging Manager/Director with strong day-to-day support from the Lead CT Technologist and accessible radiologists; as an Interim CT Technologist (also known as a Locum CT Technologist or Interim CT Tech), you’ll handle patient screening and education, IV/contrast prep per policy, protocol selection, image acquisition and reconstruction, exam quality assurance, radiation safety practices, and timely communication of critical findings through established escalation pathways; routine collaboration with physicians, advanced practice providers, nursing, and registration ensures smooth handoffs, while leadership is present and pragmatic about staffing, equipment uptime, and realistic turnaround goals.

• Primary responsibilities: perform CT exams across ED/inpatient/outpatient; follow ALARA principles; manage contrast safely; document accurately; and support efficient throughput without sacrificing quality.
• Interdisciplinary teamwork: coordinate with ED/ICU/inpatient units, scheduling/registration, and radiologists for exam prioritization and results routing.
• Autonomy and decision-making: triage add-ons, adapt protocols within guidelines, and help fine-tune workflow when needed.

Life in Eastern Montana offers the kind of balance many clinicians want: wide-open skies, quiet roads, short commutes, and a close-knit community feel; outdoor recreation is a real perk here—think fishing and kayaking on prairie rivers and reservoirs, hiking badlands-style terrain, hunting in season, and winter days that invite snow sports; housing is generally more attainable than in major metros, the cost of living is practical, schools are community-centered, and statewide no-sales-tax shopping keeps everyday expenses predictable; weekend drives open up new trails and small-town cafes, and the pace of life makes it easy to actually enjoy your time off.

The facility offers competitive compensation for interim professionals along with a comprehensive benefits approach aligned to assignment length, which commonly includes health insurance options, retirement plan access when eligible, paid time off for longer engagements, continuing education support, and professional development resources; additional travel or housing considerations may be available based on assignment specifics.
