Position Summary :

The Medical Sonographer works in a clinical or hospital setting, providing diagnostic imaging services to patients through the use of ultrasound technology. The role involves preparing patients for procedures, operating ultrasound equipment, capturing high-quality images, and providing technical support for accurate diagnosis. The sonographer must be skilled in assessing and interpreting images, maintaining equipment, and ensuring patient comfort and safety during procedures.

Performing Ultrasound Exams : Operating ultrasound machines to capture images of organs, tissues, and blood flow. This includes abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, and other specialized scans (such as cardiac, musculoskeletal, or vascular ultrasound).

Obtaining High-Quality Images : Using appropriate techniques and positioning to obtain clear and diagnostic-quality images of the targeted area.

Collaboration with Medical Team : Working closely with radiologists, obstetricians, cardiologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure proper diagnosis and care planning.
