Yes, practicing in North Dakota requires licensure from the NDMIRT board for radiography, and compliance with MQSA standards for mammography. This ensures technologists meet state-specific quality and safety benchmarks, crucial for employment at facilities like CHI St. Alexius Health.
A split role typically balances diagnostic radiology and mammography duties, requiring the technologist to perform high-quality imaging, maintain MQSA compliance, execute equipment quality checks, and mentor junior staff, ensuring both diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
Expertise in mammography procedures, bone densitometry imaging, and a leadership role in MQSA standards set Diagnostic and Mammo Technologists apart. Their ability to provide specialized breast imaging and regulatory compliance elevates their value beyond general radiologic functions.

CHI provides ongoing education, leadership opportunities, and supports credentialing efforts, allowing technologists to develop expertise in MQSA compliance and advanced imaging techniques, fostering a culture of quality and continuous professional development.
The role combines leadership in MQSA standards with a split focus on diagnostic radiology and mammography, emphasizing quality imaging and patient care within a faith-based system dedicated to community health, making it a unique blend of technical and compassionate practice.
