Radiology Technologist at Infinity Medical Centre (2024-01 – 2025-01)

Primarily responsible for XDR and its associated procedures, while also training on a Philips 64-slice CT — including Coronary Angiography — and a Philips 1.5T MRI system. This built a working understanding of both CT and MRI alongside the core XDR role, as I learned these modalities on the job, though independent scanning on them was not yet part of the remit.

MRI Technologist at NM Medical (2022-01 – 2024-01)

Delivered high-resolution MSK imaging protocols on a Siemens 3T Magnetom Spectra Dot Engine within one of Mumbai's largest diagnostic imaging chains (15+ centres across Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore). Worked under a senior radiologist widely recognised for his expertise in MSK imaging, gaining direct exposure to dedicated MSK MRI protocols under his guidance.

CT Technologist at Manipal TRUtest Diagnostic (2021-01 – 2022-01)

Built early cross-sectional imaging expertise on a Philips Brilliance CT 16-slice DS platform, with working knowledge of NABL regulations.

Intern (On-the-Job Training) at NM Medical (2017-01 – 2020-01)

Completed a three-year On-the-Job Training internship across all three core modalities — X-ray, CT and MRI — gaining hands-on practical exposure alongside the theoretical component of the BSc Radiology programme, supported by a training letter.
