Also called: Imaging Core Lab Analyst, Image Analyst (Clinical Trials)
Checks and measures MRI, CT and PET scans sent from hospitals around the world during drug trials, so results are fair and consistent.
Opens 40 new brain MRIs from trial sites in six countries, checks that each was scanned with the right settings, and flags two for redo. Then you measure tumor sizes on scans using trial rules so expert readers can decide whether the drug is working.
Estimate.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Bachelor's degree (4-year), about 4 years after high school. Bachelor's in biology, imaging science or radiologic technology; many are former imaging technologists.
Ways in: 4-year college, 2-year college. Training cost: $15k – $60k.
Majors to look at: Biology, Radiologic Technology, Biomedical Engineering.
Growing faster than average. More trials use imaging endpoints.
Medium risk in 5 years, high in 10. AI already checks scan quality and measures tumors, so analysts focus more on review and problem cases.
Classes: Biology, Physics, Computer science.
