American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS)

The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) is an organization that certifies professionals who perform ultrasound medical scans. These specialists, called sonographers, use high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body for diagnosis and treatment. ARDMS sets standards for education, skills, and knowledge in the field, and awards certification to qualified sonographers, ensuring they are capable of providing accurate and reliable imaging services. Certification by ARDMS helps validate a sonographer’s expertise and supports quality healthcare.
