License and training

Most states do not license sonographers. Employers usually want an ARDMS credential such as RDMS, or a CCI credential for cardiac or vascular work. A small number of states license sonography, so confirm the rule in your state.

The work

You read the order, scan, and adjust until the image shows what the reader needs. Then you send a study with clear measurements and notes.

Hospital roles add call, portable scans, and the emergency patient who cannot hold still. Outpatient work is steadier but keeps a tight schedule.
