Who performs and interprets ultrasound?
The ultrasound examination will be performed either by a sonologist, who has received training by an accredited institution to perform ultrasound examinations, or by an ultrasound experienced radiologist. Because ultrasound is operator dependent, it will often be the case that the examination will first be performed by the sonologist and the radiologist may come in to post-scan, to further define an area of interest and ensure that the best possible examination is obtained.
