• Assists radiologist to record and process anatomical, pathological, and physiological sonographic data and images.
• Exercises independent judgment by providing a preliminary diagnosis.
• Expected to prepare, inject, and document CEUS when indicated.
• Assists physicians with lesion localization and probe placement in Ablation procedures.
• Accurately creates an anatomical map of lymph nodes/nodules in the neck (including prior alcohol ablation sites) for the ENT surgeon to utilize during surgery.
• Utilize PACS to store/retrieve images and operate the EHR system efficiently, including documenting additional charges when indicated.
• Overtime, on-call, weekends, overnights, and holiday shifts are required per department needs.

• Sonographers may be expected to receive additional training in multiple sub-specialty areas.
• OR CEUS involves scrubbing in, interpreting, and guiding vascular surgeons in the OR.
• Fusion entails uploading a series of CT/PET/MRI images to fuse with ultrasound, assisting with lesion localization/needle placement and potentially working on multiple ultrasound machines.
• Expected to follow MRI/radiation safety standards.
• Non-Imaging Vascular provides diagnostic exams for the peripheral vascular system including ABIs, segmental pressures/PVRs, exercising arterial study patients, TcPO2s, and monitoring for cardiac changes by reading ECGs from a 12-lead monitor.
• NIV also performs Tonometry and EndoPat testing.
• Performing IBD studies involves using grayscale, color, spectral Doppler, SWE, microvascular, and CEUS to assist in the diagnosis of intestine pathology.
• Prostate Seed team involves assisting the radiologist with imaging during the gold/carbon marker seed placement with/without hydrogel and assisting in the brachysuite with HDR treatments and MUPIT.
• This specialty also assists urologists/radiation oncologists in the OR with LDR.
• MSK performs and assists in exams/procedures involving muscles, nerves, joints, and tendons.
