Ultrasonographer Jobs in Des Moines, IA

An Ultrasonographer, also known as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer, uses ultrasound equipment to produce images or conduct tests for physicians to aid in assessing and diagnosing medical conditions. The images they create, known as sonograms or ultrasound scans, can involve various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, heart, blood vessels, and female reproductive system. An Ultrasonographer in the radiology field has the crucial role of helping determine the nature of a patient's illness by operating complex medical instruments, ensuring patient comfort, and interpreting the images for doctors.

To become an effective Ultrasonographer, individuals must have a keen eye for detail, strong technical and problem-solving skills, and excellent hand-eye coordination. They should also possess good interpersonal and communication skills to interact with patients and medical staff effectively. A certification from the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) is typically required, which validates their competency and skills in the field. Before becoming an Ultrasonographer, a person would usually have roles such as a Radiologic Technologist, Ultrasound Technician, or even a Nurse, which provide valuable patient care experience and familiarity with medical environments.
