About this role

From the Mercor listing

Domain Expert – Diagnostic Imaging (Visage 7 Research)

To qualify you must use Visage 7 regularly — weekly or more — as a working part of your job, with 2+ years of professional experience in radiology, imaging operations, or imaging IT.

Visage 7 knowledge we require

Study interpretation & measurement

  • Establishing a patient's current imaging position as of a given study date, and comparing it against the relevant prior — not just the most recent one

  • Distinguishing a measurement or annotation that has been saved and persisted from one that exists only in the open session

  • Reading multi-series, multi-timepoint studies; knowing when a finding requires additional imaging, a critical-results call, or subspecialty over-read versus a routine sign-off

  • Quantitative work where applicable: RECIST/PERCIST timepoint tracking, SUV values and their calibration dependencies, vessel and volume measurement, fusion and registration accuracy

Patient & study records

  • Patient / study / series / instance hierarchy, and the identifiers that bind them — MRN, accession number, Study Instance UID, procedure code

  • Recording interpretation and communication history accurately, including on partial, preliminary, or handed-off information

  • Setting and interpreting follow-up recommendations, flags, and recall dates on a patient's record

Worklist & reading workflow

  • Worklist construction, filters, and study status transitions (scheduled, arrived, read-in-progress, dictated, preliminary, final, addended)

  • Claiming and releasing studies; recognizing what a preliminary or wet read commits you to versus a signed final report

  • Distinguishing what is confirmed from what is assumed when picking up a study mid-read or inheriting a shift handoff

  • Prior fetching and relevance rules — why an expected prior is absent, and what to do about it

Reference & configuration data

  • Hanging protocols, display protocols, and window/level presets, and how configuration constrains what a reader can see by default

  • Procedure code and protocol mapping, series descriptions, and how upstream acquisition labeling determines downstream display

  • DICOM tag-level familiarity sufficient to diagnose a mis-hung, mis-labeled, or mis-routed study

  • Cross-system references where relevant: RIS/EHR order, dictation system, AI result overlays

Regulatory & clinical standards

  • Applying the organization's own protocol, dose, and reporting standards to determine whether a study is complete and interpretable

  • Version and currency awareness — which protocol, template, or criteria set applies as of the study date, not as of today

  • Where relevant to your role: MQSA, ACR accreditation and dose registry requirements, critical-findings communication policy, information-blocking and patient-release rules

Audit & handoff

  • Recording findings, measurements, key images, and open items so the next reader, the ordering clinician, or a tumor board can see exactly what was concluded and what remains outstanding

  • Persistence of annotations, presentation states, and key-image selections so a later viewer reproduces what you saw

  • Peer review, discrepancy, and amendment workflows; audit trail and access logging

What you'll do

  • Confirm the patient's imaging record reflects what was actually acquired and actually concluded, not what is assumed — especially on partial handoffs and incomplete studies

  • Work out the current imaging position as of the relevant study date, compared against the correct prior, and record it with a follow-up recommendation where indicated

  • Distinguish session-only actions from those that persist to the record and affect downstream readers

  • Judge completeness: is the study interpretable, is the correct prior available, is anything left open that shouldn't be, is the record ready for the next reader or for conference

  • Verify recorded outcomes are traceable — reproducible and auditable, not just noted informally

Requirements

  • Frequent Visage 7 use — weekly or more — in your current or recent role

  • 2+ years of professional experience in diagnostic radiology, imaging technology, imaging operations, or PACS/imaging informatics

  • Reflexive familiarity with study status transitions, prior comparison, and the preliminary-versus-final distinction

  • One of the following:

    • MD/DO with radiology residency or fellowship training (board certification or eligibility preferred), or

    • ARRT, RDMS, NMTCB, or equivalent technologist credential with hands-on advanced-visualization experience, or

    • Bachelor's degree in health informatics, medical imaging, computer science, or a related field, plus imaging informatics certification (CIIP, PARCA) or equivalent hands-on PACS administration experience

How long hiring takes

Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Why this role

At $90–$130/hr, this Domain Expert – Diagnostic Imaging (Visage 7 Research) position compensates Software Engineering expertise on its own terms, the kind of rate that would otherwise only show up inside a law firm, hospital, or research lab.

Common questions

Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?

No, applying and joining Mercor is free. Mercor's revenue comes from a fee it charges the client on top of your hourly rate, not from applicants. Treat any request for payment to join as a red flag.

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

Is AI training work the same as traditional consulting?

No. Instead of client deliverables, you're given complex scenarios to evaluate: grading the AI's logic, correcting its hallucinations, and supplying expert-level reasoning it doesn't have on its own. The job is closer to teaching than consulting.

Why do these AI training roles pay so much?

Because general knowledge isn't what's being tested. The model already knows the basics; what it needs is expertise on edge cases, the rare, difficult, highly technical judgment calls only a senior professional in the field would make correctly.

What does Software Engineering work look like for a Domain Expert – Diagnostic Imaging (Visage 7 Research)?

Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Domain Expert – Diagnostic Imaging (Visage 7 Research), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Expert is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening process to test for it directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $90–$130/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
