How much time do MRI techs spend on their feet?

I understand they're on their feet when they position the patient, but what about during the scan?

Well, Captain, let me explain what a typical day is like. NOTE: Hospital vs. clinic are very different. While you are scanning, you are setting up the next set of scans, answering the phone, either sending your images to a Radiologist, or filming your images. Talking and communicating constantly with your patient. Watching each sequence as it finishes to make sure there is no motion or other artifact. Answering the phone, sqeezing 6 more people into your schedule that are "STAT", that aren't! But, hey the Dr. says it is! Skipped lunch, reports come in, and you have to make sure they have all proper documention on them. The phone keeps ringing...Are you sure you can not do another patient? Afer all he has had knee pain for 6 months now and is dying! It's STAT do you understand that??? Run, get the next patient, question the patient, get them dressed for their exam, and it all starts over again. It is a VERY BUSY job! Which takes alot of skill! Multitasking is a MUST! And, patient care is the MOST important thing! Now watch out some idiot just thought his pen wasn't going to go flying into the magnet...OOPS forgot to take it out of my pocket.
Typical day....some better...some worse...life is good! Love my job...I truly do!
