Candidates are required to be knowledgeable in terminology related to sonography, anatomy, and pathology. The ultrasound technologist may specialize or work in a broad array of specialties including obstetric and gynecological ultrasounds, and neurological, breast, abdominal or vascular sonography.

Candidates will be able to give straightforward instructions as well as foster a sense of comfort and confidence in patients. Attention to detail and the ability to follow a physician's instructions will be important to the success of working in a team concept. Most of an ultrasound tech’s day will center on preparing patients for procedures and taking images, but as may be expected in any healthcare environment, there is substantial paperwork and other patient and equipment tasks that must be done throughout the workday.
