What is the average salary for Ultrasound Radiologists?

Question

I was looking to become one and I just wanted to know. Also, what schooling would be required?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by ultrasound radiologist. An ultrasound tech (or sonographer) performs the exam, and a radiologist (a doctor) interprets the results. Radiologists are physicians who earn a four-year doctoral degree to become an M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy). They then complete a four-year residency. They specialize in the interpretation of medical images such as MR scans, CT scans, radiographs, nuclear medicine scans, mammograms and sonograms. They are specially trained to identify injury and disease in each of the body's systems, whether bone, tissue, organs or blood vessels. Radiologists may specialize in fields such as neuroradiology, angiography, cardiovascular-interventional radiology, pediatric radiology or nuclear medicine.

For sonographers, the field offers a wide variety of specialties including abdominal, obstetric-gynecology, echocardiography, pediatric echocardiography, neurosonography, peripheral vascular Doppler and ophthalmology.

I do general x-ray, not ultrasound, but I think that it's probably a 2 year program.

Answer 2

about 50,000 to 75,000 a year depending on where you work its about 2 years of school
