Radiology professionals at the VA play a crucial role in providing personalized care to Veterans by connecting diagnoses with treatment. They utilize advanced imaging technologies, such as MRI, ultrasound, mammography, and interventional radiology. The VA is also investigating the use of artificial intelligence to enhance image analysis. According to Samantha Kurtz, a lead X-ray technician, having radiology services in-house prevents delays in care that would occur if imaging had to be outsourced.

VA’s integrated health care system allows radiology professionals to share imaging results across facilities, ensuring timely and effective treatment for Veterans. The VA is actively hiring qualified imaging professionals, including radiologic technicians and radiologists, who perform examinations and interpret images, respectively.

Joining the VA means becoming part of the largest integrated health care system in the U.S., with access to professional development, competitive federal pay, health and retirement benefits, and generous paid leave. Each imaging procedure contributes to improving the health and quality of life for Veterans. Interested individuals are encouraged to explore available radiology career opportunities at the VA.
