Vascular Technologist

About the Roll:

Performs vascular ultrasound studies on patients in the vascular laboratory, bedside or in the operating room; The vascular scientist must able to analyze complex hemodynamic and imaging information obtained during the scan as its performed to form a diagnosis. Adapt the scan or extend the scan based on observations and measurements taken during the scan and accurately record and report test results.

Experience:

• Hands-on experience performing vascular ultrasounds in clinical settings (e.g., hospitals, vascular labs, outpatient clinics).
• Familiarity with arterial and venous anatomy , hemodynamics, and pathology.
• Experience with patient care and clinical documentation .
• Perform, interpret diagnostics
• Performed carotid duplex ultrasound to detect stenosis, plaque buildup, and evaluate stroke risk.
• Conducted peripheral arterial duplex studies in upper and lower extremities to assess for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and aneurysms.
• Measured ankle-brachial index (ABI) and segmental limb pressures to quantify arterial obstruction.
• Executed transcranial Doppler (TCD) studies to assess intracranial blood flow and cerebrovascular pathology.
• Conducted lower and upper extremity venous duplex ultrasounds for detection of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous insufficiency.
• Performed venous reflux and compression studies to evaluate valve competency and detect venous reflux or obstruction.
• Assisted in arteriovenous (AV) fistula mapping and post-procedural bypass graft surveillance for dialysis and vascular surgery patients.
• Conducted abdominal aortic, renal, and mesenteric artery ultrasounds to detect stenosis, aneurysms, and other vascular abnormalities.
• Utilized plethysmography (strain-gauge and air) to evaluate limb volume changes and assess arterial circulation.
• Operated and maintained advanced ultrasound and Doppler equipment , ensuring high-quality imaging and accurate hemodynamic measurements.
• Recorded, analyzed, and documented diagnostic findings in compliance with laboratory protocols and physician review.
• Collaborated with vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and cardiologists to provide real-time imaging support during interventional vascular procedures .

Qualification:

• Bachelors degree or Diploma in Diagnostic ultrasound or Sonography (3 year)
• Bachelors degree or Diploma in Radiography or Medical imaging (3 year) + Post -primary certificate or Diploma degree in Diagnostic ultrasound (1 year)

Key Skills:

• Technical proficiency with ultrasound machines and vascular testing equipment.
• Strong analytical skills for interpreting complex vascular images.
• Attention to detail and accuracy.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills to interact with patients and the healthcare team.
