Samantha Davis, R.T.(R)(MR)

Samantha is a technologist turned leader who helped make remote MRI scanning a practical answer to imaging’s workforce shortage. Over 12 years at RadNet, she has advanced from X-ray technologist to director of MRI for the company’s Eastern operations.

Samantha joined RadNet in 2014, became an MRI technologist in 2016 and was named chief MRI technologist in 2019. Beginning in 2020, when remote scanning was still emerging, she helped establish and expand a program that lets qualified MRI technologists operate scanners remotely while trained staff support patients at the imaging center. She contributed clinical insight to the development of the remote scanning technology, helped write its operational and safety protocols and created training for both remote and in-center technologists.

Having mentored numerous MRI technologists and MR steering experts, Samantha contributes training expertise to RadNet’s In-suite Assistant program. Throughout her career, she has worked with radiologists, technologists and technology developers to standardize protocols, improve workflows and bring pediatric and cardiac MRI and AI applications into practice.

Beyond RadNet, Samantha has served since 2022 on the RadSite Remote Scanning Workgroup, which develops standards and best practices for safe remote scanning. She was a featured panelist on its September webinar covering remote scanning standards. She also represents frontline imaging professionals at international radiology conferences. In September, she also was among the inaugural recipients of Aclarion’s Nociscan Excellence Award.
