📣 Give us a M-R-T!

Because we’re sending some T-L-C to an amazing group of high-tech specialists who are experts in providing compassionate care 24/7, in honor of Medical Radiation Technologists (MRT) Week, which kicked off Nov. 3, 2024.

People like Warren Lee, who’s been a MRT with Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) since 2008.

“If there’s one thing you need to know about our MRT team, it’s that we’re highly trained, regulated professionals who put our patients first,” he explains.

“Our goal is to obtain the best possible imaging, which is integral for diagnosis, management and therapy, while maintaining the highest level of patient care.”

Lee believes in treating people the way he would like to be treated. That golden rule applies not only to his patients, but also his colleagues.

Spoiler alert… they do!

Last fiscal year, Lee and the Medical Imaging department performed more than 260,000 imaging exams.

We’re talking X-rays, CT and MRI scans, plus radiation-related treatment services and more.

It’s not an exaggeration when we say this team completes hundreds of scans and procedures every single day.

“As our previous director once told me, all roads of care at KHSC will pass through Medical Imaging. The number of exams completed on top of the attention to patient care and detail, speaks volumes to the significance of MRTs.

“We’re an adaptable team. You can find us roaming the halls with our portable machines, in operating rooms assisting with surgeries, in clinics supporting patient care and recovery progression, in the Emergency Department responding to urgent and traumatic needs, and within our respective departments scanning and treating our patients.”

MRT Week is an annual celebration that highlights the vital role medical radiation technologists play in health care. This year, MRT Week is being celebrated from Nov. 3 to 9.

Lee himself is a leader within the department and is known not only for his dedication to his patients, but also the support and guidance he provides to his colleagues to help them thrive.

“I’m definitely proud of the work I do. It’s important to me to give my best effort, while also having fun, because my patients and colleagues deserve it.

“My leadership and treatment of others is just a reflection of how I would want to be treated. We are a team and no one individual can run and maintain a department that functions 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year.

“Each member of our team must be supported and bettered for us to function at a high level. Allowing all members to succeed or be in a position to succeed, will only better our department as a whole.”
