Support imaging teams with imaging orders, appointments, and results coordination — from home. No certification needed.
Virelia Health connects Radiology Support Assistants with remote opportunities across healthcare organizations — hospitals, imaging centers, medical practices, specialty clinics, and radiology teams.
We are seeking motivated Remote Radiology Support Assistants for entry-level and early-career opportunities supporting radiology teams across the United States.
A Remote Radiology Support Assistant supports radiology teams with imaging order coordination, imaging appointment scheduling, imaging results tracking, radiology documentation, and imaging communications support for healthcare organizations. Working within the radiology team's support scope, the Radiology Support Assistant is the coordination-focused professional who keeps imaging moving — supporting imaging orders, coordinating imaging appointments, tracking imaging results, and documenting radiology activity — so patients get their imaging on time and providers get the results they need.
No radiology certification is required. No prior healthcare or radiology experience is required. Paid training is provided. This role is well-suited to candidates who are organized, comfortable with imaging workflows and radiology systems, and take pride in keeping things coordinated — including career changers, recent graduates, and first-time remote workers coming from radiology, medical office, patient support, or imaging center roles.
The specific healthcare organization, radiology focus, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for radiology support jobs, remote radiology support assistant, work-from-home radiology jobs no certification, entry-level healthcare jobs no experience, non-certified radiology jobs, or virtual radiology support roles.
This is a non-certified radiology support role — no ARRT, radiology technician certification, or state radiology registration is required. Employers provide paid training on radiology workflows, imaging order coordination, imaging appointment scheduling, imaging results tracking, radiology systems (RIS/PACS), and HIPAA compliance. Important: This role supports certified radiology technologists and radiologists — it does not involve performing imaging, positioning patients, or interpreting imaging, which remain with licensed radiology staff. If you are interested in radiology but don't yet have your ARRT certification, this is an excellent way to build experience, earn income, and prepare for certification.
This is a true entry-level role. No prior healthcare or radiology experience is required. Employers provide paid training on radiology workflows, imaging order coordination, imaging appointment scheduling, imaging results tracking, radiology systems (RIS/PACS), patient prep support, documentation standards, and HIPAA compliance. If you are organized, comfortable with imaging workflows and radiology systems, and can learn new software, you're a great fit. Many of our Radiology Support Assistants come from radiology, medical office, patient support, and imaging center roles.
This position offers $18–$28 per hour — an elevated range reflecting the imaging coordination responsibility (imaging orders, appointments, results tracking with clinical teams) and the radiology systems knowledge this role carries. Radiology Support sits above generalist support roles on the career ladder, and the compensation reflects that. Entry-level candidates typically start around $18–$20 and advance toward $28 as they build radiology expertise and coordination skill.
Remote radiology support runs on scheduled imaging hours, imaging queues, and appointment cycles, giving your workday predictability and structure. Programs typically offer daytime weekday coverage, with some imaging teams supporting early morning, evening, or weekend coverage to align with imaging center hours. Many assistants work flexible 8-hour days, and some work part-time schedules around school or family commitments. There are no clinical duties, minimal in-person patient contact, and no in-person office requirements; the role is coordination- and system-based support. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Radiology Support Assistant, you may support the radiology team across a range of radiology support tasks.
Remote radiology support is a growing area — driven by increased demand for imaging capacity, expanded remote radiology workflows, and the recognition that dedicated Radiology Support Assistants improve imaging throughput, reduce imaging staff administrative burden, and improve results turnaround. Remote Radiology Support Assistants extend radiology capacity, support radiology teams, and improve radiology outcomes across organizations.
Depending on the program, radiology support may focus on:
The Radiology Support Assistant's role is to provide radiology support within the radiology team's support scope — including imaging order coordination, imaging appointment scheduling, imaging results tracking, radiology documentation, patient prep support, and imaging communications support. Clinical decisions, imaging decisions, patient positioning, imaging performance, and imaging interpretation remain with licensed radiology staff (technologists and radiologists). The Radiology Support Assistant supports the radiology process and coordinates with radiology staff, providers, and clinical teams.
This structure keeps the role focused on imaging order coordination, imaging appointments, imaging results tracking, documentation, and radiology support outcomes.
The Radiology Support Assistant handles the coordination work that keeps imaging moving — imaging orders need to be supported, appointments need to be scheduled, results need to be tracked, and every action needs to be documented. You'll support imaging orders (receiving and entering orders), support imaging prior authorizations (submission and follow-up), coordinate imaging appointments (scheduling with patients and imaging centers), support patient prep (prep instructions per policy), track imaging results (from completion through reporting), support results delivery (to providers and clinical teams), and document every action accurately in the radiology systems.
Depending on the radiology focus, you may support the team by:
Organization, radiology systems knowledge, and reliability are essential — Radiology Support Assistants help imaging teams stay efficient and results turn around on time.
A Remote Radiology Support Assistant may follow a structured workflow across each radiology cycle.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Radiology support work directly involves patient information, including names, contact details, imaging orders, imaging results, images, diagnoses, and healthcare context. All radiology support work must comply with HIPAA privacy rules, organizational patient privacy policy, radiology documentation standards, and applicable radiology regulations. Radiology Support Assistants do not perform imaging, position patients, interpret imaging, provide clinical advice, or make radiology-level decisions. Clinical concerns, imaging result questions, and situations requiring clinical judgment must be escalated to licensed radiology staff or clinical teams following the employer's escalation protocol. Radiology Support Assistants must maintain HIPAA compliance and protect patient data across all radiology support work.
Experience or background in any of the following may be beneficial — but none are required:
A typical day may begin by logging into the radiology system (RIS) — reviewing the day's imaging queue, checking pending imaging orders, and identifying any priority imaging or result escalations from the previous shift.
You'll review the imaging queue — scanning new imaging orders and pending imaging results and identifying what support work needs to be done.
You'll support imaging orders — entering imaging order data accurately, verifying order details, and supporting imaging prior authorization workflows.
You'll coordinate imaging appointments — scheduling imaging appointments with patients, coordinating with imaging centers on availability and prep, and sending appointment reminders.
You'll support patient prep — sharing patient prep instructions per radiology policy (fasting, contrast prep, medication holds, etc.) and supporting patient questions about prep.
You'll track imaging results — tracking imaging results from completion through reporting, following up on pending results with imaging centers and radiologists, and flagging delayed results.
You'll support results delivery — supporting delivery of imaging results to providers and clinical teams per radiology policy, and supporting critical result notifications per protocol.
You'll document and track — recording each support action accurately in the radiology system and updating imaging trackers and logs.
You'll escalate when needed — routing clinical questions, unusual imaging orders, and imaging questions to licensed radiology staff and clinical teams per protocol.
Between tasks, you'll coordinate with radiology technologists, radiologists, imaging centers, providers, and clinical teams, and support radiology reporting and continuous improvement efforts.
Throughout the day, you'll work across RIS, PACS, EHR, and payer systems, document your radiology support activity accurately, support radiology quality goals, and maintain HIPAA compliance across all radiology support work.
The role combines imaging order coordination, imaging appointment scheduling, patient prep support, imaging results tracking, results delivery support, documentation, and radiology support outcomes.
Unlike certified radiology professional roles that require ARRT or radiology technician certification, this Radiology Support Assistant role is a true entry-level position — you support the radiology team while building experience you can use to prepare for certification.
This position is designed for remote radiology support delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for RIS, PACS, and EHR system remote access, a private, quiet workspace suitable for confidential patient information and clinical communications, and comfort with multiple radiology and support systems. Some employers provide equipment (including headsets); others require you to supply your own computer. Requirements vary by employer.
