Step into a pivotal Radiology travel assignment as a CT Technologist in Alturas, California, beginning November 25, 2025. This opportunity lets you apply your CT imaging expertise in diverse clinical settings, delivering precise diagnostics that influence treatment plans while expanding your professional network across the United States. You’ll play a critical role in patient care, guiding imaging workflows, optimizing dose, and ensuring top-tier image quality, all while embracing the autonomy and growth that comes with travel healthcare. This is more than a job; it’s a path to elevate your career, explore new communities, and contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes. Alongside your professional impact, you’ll discover why northern California’s scenery draws people to its quiet towns and expansive skies, where outdoor adventures abound after shifts. Alturas sits near the Modoc National Forest and the Warner Mountains, offering serene landscapes, star-filled nights, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere that makes balancing work and life feel natural.
Location benefits extend beyond a single town to the broad opportunities travel roles provide across the U.S. in radiology departments that value skilled CT technologists who can adapt to varied equipment and patient populations. In Alturas, you’ll enjoy a close-knit community feel, accessibility to outdoor recreation, and the chance to reset in a safe, friendly setting after demanding cases. The surrounding regions invite hiking, fishing, and camping, and the broader travel assignments expand your horizon—opening doors to urban hospitals, rural clinics, and specialty centers across diverse geographies. Whether you remain in California or rotate to new cities, you’ll gain exposure to different protocols, populations, and imaging challenges that sharpen your clinical judgment, refine your technique, and broaden your professional resume. The experience is designed to be as rewarding personally as it is professionally, with steady routines and predictable commitments that support a balanced travel lifestyle.
In this CT Tech role, you’ll perform comprehensive CT imaging with attention to protocol accuracy, patient safety, and image optimization. Key responsibilities include preparing and positioning patients for CT studies, selecting appropriate imaging parameters, dose optimization, contrast administration when indicated, and ensuring high-quality, diagnostic images. You’ll operate and troubleshoot CT scanners, maintain strict radiation safety practices, conduct quality assurance checks, and collaborate with radiologists and cross-disciplinary teams to ensure timely reports. The position emphasizes professional growth through exposure to advanced imaging techniques, post-processing, 3D reconstruction, and potential training on emerging technologies. You’ll have access to ongoing education and mentorship that supports specialty development, enabling you to broaden your skill set within the radiology field. Competitive benefits accompany the role, including a bonus program, housing assistance to ease relocation logistics, and extension opportunities that reward reliability and clinical excellence. With guaranteed hours of 36 per week and a weekly pay range of $2,846 to $2,962, you’ll enjoy financial stability while pursuing a dynamic, travel-oriented career. A 24/7 support structure is in place to assist you on the road, including dedicated coordinators, clinical leadership access, and troubleshooting resources whenever you need them during assignments. These elements are designed to provide a seamless, stress-reduced experience so you can focus on delivering outstanding imaging care.
Our company is rooted in empowering staff to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We place a premium on open communication, constructive feedback, and opportunities to expand clinical responsibilities as you demonstrate proficiency and leadership.
