Why is an ardms certified sonographer so important?
Certification makes a critical difference in the quality of an ultrasound. Knowing how to perform a scan accurately takes years of training and experience. Knowing how to read the images created with ultrasound waves correclty requires knowledge and skill. In all cases, the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers) certification provides assurance that a Sonographer has obtained the full range of knowledge and skill competencies needed for maintaining the highest standards in the ultrasound practice. In addition to meeting specific education and experience requirements, Sonographers must pass two ARDMS examinations for each registry or specialty – one covering the basic principles and instrumentation of ultrasound and the other covering a specialty area. ARDMS Certified Sonographers stay on the cutting edge of ultrasound technology.
