This position is for an experienced diagnostic radiologist who is proficient in interpreting a full range of diagnostic imaging examinations from the modalities of MRI, CT, diagnostic ultrasound, general radiography, and fluoroscopy. Board certification in Diagnostic Radiology is preferred. Subspecialty fellowship training within the past 10 years is desirable. Experience in interpreting PET/CT and general Nuclear Medicine examinations is also desirable. McKesson PACS and voice recognition transcription capabilities link a large outpatient clinic in Austin, a large veteran's psychiatric hospital in Waco, and four outlying community-based outpatient clinics with the main medical center in Temple. The Imaging Service performs approximately 125,000 exams per year and utilizes five 1.5 T MRI units, six multi-detector CT scanners, eight diagnostic ultrasound machines, and two digital mammography units. A Nuclear Medicine section is integrated into the service at the Temple facility. Primary after-hours on-call exam interpretations are handled by a robust and reliable teleradiology service.

Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
