Licensing & Credential Requirements
Travel MRI Tech positions require active ARRT certification in the appropriate modality. Most facilities also expect current BLS certification through the American Heart Association. Texas requires MRT (Medical Radiologic Technologist) certification from the Texas Department of State Health Services in addition to ARRT. Facilities with 3T magnets or cardiac MRI programs often require documented experience with those specific platforms. MRI safety screening competency is universally expected; some larger programs prefer MRSO certification. Apply for MRT certification through the Texas Department of State Health Services. A temporary permit may be available while the full certification is reviewed.
