Step into a pivotal Radiology role as an X-Ray Tech in Modesto, California, where precision imaging and compassionate patient care converge to elevate outcomes across diverse clinical settings. In this travel assignment, your expertise will illuminate diagnosis and treatment, helping radiologists craft clear, confident plans for patient journeys. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to refine your skills, expand your professional network, and make meaningful contributions to communities that rely on timely, accurate imaging. California’s sunlit landscapes, from the verdant Central Valley to rolling hills and nearby coastlines, invite exploration beyond the hospital walls. Modesto itself blends a welcoming, family-friendly community with a thriving downtown, parks, robust eateries, and a surface-level reminder that life here can be vibrant and satisfying. For those who crave variety and growth, the prospects extend across the United States, offering the chance to experience different facilities, patient populations, and workflows while staying grounded in the core radiologic practice you love.

Modesto is a compelling place to practice imaging medicine, offering modern facilities, supportive hospital networks, and an environment that values work–life balance. The assignment also provides exposure to multiple locations across the U.S., enriching your professional portfolio with diversity in patient demographics, equipment, and clinical protocols. You’ll enjoy the advantages of serving in California’s communities—where standards are high, teamwork is valued, and the need for dependable, high-quality imaging is constant—while also benefiting from the adaptability and broad experience travel assignments bring. The region’s cost of living remains approachable relative to larger metro cores, and you’ll have access to practical housing support as you establish yourself in temporary accommodations. The overall experience is designed to broaden your horizons, deepen your clinical confidence, and reconnect you with why you chose radiography in the first place.

This multi-week assignment centers on radiographic testing that supports patient care across a spectrum of clinical needs. Responsibilities include performing radiographic exams (such as AP, PA, lateral, and oblique views) with attention to optimal positioning, shielding, and dose management; ensuring image quality and accurate labeling for interpretation by radiologists; maintaining strict infection control and patient comfort throughout procedures; coordinating with technologists and physicians to prioritize patient safety and throughput; conducting routine quality assurance checks on equipment and software, and assisting with documentation and PACS uploads. The role also invites professional growth through exposure to a variety of imaging settings, opportunities to refine technique, and potential cross-training into related modalities as facility needs and your interests evolve. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that supports learning, quality improvement, and adherence to evolving imaging standards. In addition to technical duties, you’ll engage in patient education—explaining procedures, addressing concerns, and helping patients feel at ease during examinations.

The package includes competitive weekly pay in the range of $1,968 to $2,050, with a bonus consideration and housing assistance to ease transition into temporary lodging. You’ll also have candid opportunities for extension based on performance, facility demand, and your demonstrated reliability, which means the chance to continue contributing in California or explore additional locations as your career unfolds. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of this assignment: a dedicated Travel Support Team stands by 24/7 to help with scheduling, travel logistics, credentialing, and any on-the-road needs, so you can focus on delivering outstanding imaging care. While the travel nature of the role brings flexibility, it does require adaptability and a proactive approach to patient-centered service in a variety of clinical environments. Start date is February 23, 2026, and the engagement spans multiple weeks, with the potential for ongoing extensions based on mutual fit and ongoing demand. Please note that hours are not guaranteed; this assignment aligns with patient volume and facility requirements, and final compensation specifics will be confirmed during the hiring process.

Our company values your contributions and is committed to empowering your career trajectory. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes professional development, mentorship, and a supportive environment where experienced radiology professionals guide newer team members and share best practices.
