Ultrasonographer

JOB DESCRIPTION:

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

Since ultrasound can be degraded or blocked by various tissues and materials including lung, bowel gas and bone, obtaining a sonogram is a tailored examination requiring technical skill to adjust the machine, experience to find appropriate "windows" that can transmit an undistorted ultrasound beam, and diagnostic knowledge to obtain extra images customized to the diagnosis of concern and to abnormalities seen while obtaining the basic image set.

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 Staff Sonographer performs diagnostic ultrasounds and other required modalities within individual department(s). Examinations are performed independently, under physician supervision, and with peer collaboration as is appropriate.

SCHEDULE:

9pm-7am Sunday, 8pm-6am Monday through Wednesday. While not a requirement at this time, call could be assigned in the future if the business need arises.
