JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Sonographer Staff performs a variety of routine and complex imaging procedures using high frequency sound waves.

This need to heavily customize the examination to each patient and to recognize and diagnose pathology separates the sonographer from other imaging technologists in radiology.
The Sonographer Staff must be registered by the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers).
EDUCATION:
High school graduate or equivalent, graduate of a certified CAAHEP school of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Cardiac Technology or a two year allied health equivalent. Must be ARDMS registered with RDCS credential.
