  2. Conducting Ultrasound Scans
    • Position patients correctly on the examination table to capture clear, high-quality images.
    • Apply conductive gel to the patient's skin to facilitate sound wave transmission, ensuring patient comfort during the process.
    • Operate ultrasound equipment, adjusting settings as needed to capture optimal images of organs, tissues, or blood flow.
    • Use a hand-held transducer to move over the patient's body and capture images or videos of the target area.

  3. Patient Safety and Comfort
    • Ensure patient comfort and safety during the ultrasound procedure, explaining each step and providing reassurance.
    • Monitor the patient for signs of discomfort or distress and adjust positioning or equipment settings as needed.
    • Address patient concerns or discomfort, particularly for anxious or nervous patients.
    • Maintain a clean and sterile environment, adhering to infection control standards.
  4. Image Analysis and Reporting
    • Capture high-quality, diagnostic images meeting medical evaluation and diagnosis criteria.
    • Review and analyze ultrasound images for clarity and completeness before submitting them to the physician or radiologist.
    • Provide preliminary findings or impressions based on ultrasound images to the physician, while adhering to professional and legal guidelines.
    • Ensure images are labeled correctly and stored in the electronic health record system or PACS.
  5. Post-Procedure Care
    • Assist the patient after the procedure, ensuring they're stable and comfortable before leaving the examination room.
    • Remove any gel from the patient's skin and offer tissues or towels for cleaning.
    • Provide patients with aftercare instructions, especially if additional follow-up appointments or tests are required.
    • Advise patients to follow up with their physician for review of results or further treatment.
  6. Equipment Maintenance and Troubleshooting
    • Regularly inspect and maintain ultrasound equipment, ensuring it's functioning properly and in good working condition.
    • Perform basic troubleshooting for equipment malfunctions, reporting technical issues to the appropriate team for repair.
    • Ensure the ultrasound probe is properly cleaned and sanitized between patients, following infection control protocols.
  7. Documentation and Record-Keeping
    • Maintain accurate records of procedures performed, including patient information, images, and reports.
    • Ensure all documentation is completed in compliance with hospital policies, regulatory standards, and patient confidentiality guidelines (e.g., HIPAA).
    • Ensure images and results are stored correctly and are readily accessible for review by physicians or radiologists.
  8. Collaboration with Medical Team
    • Work closely with physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to provide accurate imaging for diagnosis and treatment.
    • Communicate effectively with physicians and other medical staff to discuss image quality or potential findings requiring further investigation.
    • Assist in preparing reports or other documentation as needed for medical records or treatment planning.
  9. Professional Development and Training
    • Participate in continuing education opportunities, staying current with the latest advancements in ultrasound technology and imaging techniques.
    • Obtain and maintain certifications and licensure required for ultrasound technology, including RDMS certification and Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
    • Assist in training new sonographers or students in the proper operation of ultrasound equipment, patient care, and safety protocols.
