Assist patients in preparing for the ultrasound, such as positioning them on the examination table.

Provide patients with appropriate clothing, such as gowns, and maintain their privacy during the procedure.

Operating Ultrasound Equipment :

Set up and calibrate ultrasound equipment for optimal imaging based on the patient’s needs.

Use the ultrasound machine’s transducer to capture high-quality images.

Monitor patient responses during the procedure, adjusting the equipment as necessary to ensure accurate results.

Image Evaluation :

Review images to ensure they are of sufficient quality for diagnosis.

Adjust settings on the ultrasound equipment to improve image clarity as needed.

Document results and provide reports to physicians or other healthcare professionals.

Maintaining Patient Records :

Clean and maintain ultrasound equipment and examination rooms in accordance with health and safety standards.

Follow strict infection control protocols to prevent contamination between patients.

Collaboration :

Work closely with physicians, radiologists, and other medical staff to interpret and evaluate diagnostic images.

Participate in discussions regarding patient care and assist in providing additional imaging if required.

Some states, like Arizona and Pennsylvania, may not mandate state licensure, but national certification may still be required for employment.
