Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Take medical history to prepare patients for procedures
  • Prepare and Maintain diagnostic imaging equipment
  • Operate equipment to obtain diagnostic imaging and conduct test.
  • Review images/test results to check for quality and accuracy when scanning areas needed for diagnostics.

Different Types of Diagnostic Sonographers:
