how much is the average salary for an Ultrasound Technician?

We Answered:

Salary will vary depending on where you live and what type of facility you work in. Usually, you will make more money in a hospital setting vs. a free standing imaging center. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists just did a large salary survey. In CA, the average yearly salary for sonography was $87,485. In Alabama, it was $58,998. In Texas, it was $66,258. You can check out the average salaries in your state at this site:

Hours will also vary. In a hospital setting, you might work day shifts, evening shifts and sometimes they staff overnight. You may work a variety of shifts during your monthly schedule....maybe a day shift, followed by a night shift, followed by a weekend shift. New hires are usually used to fill in shifts, which are unstaffed due to vacation or illness. It can take a year or two to get on a regular schedule. At a hospital, you may have to work weekends or pull call.

I work in a free standing imaging center, so I only work Monday through Friday, 8-5. I like these days/hours, so I don't mind making a bit less for that convience. I enjoy my work. We do much more than just OB ultrasounds. On an average day, I might do abdominal, pelvic, thyroid, breast, scrotum, carotid, and OB ultrasounds. If you haven't already, I would suggest you observe in an imaging department to get a good idea of what ultrasound technologists really do. Best wishes.....

But, the American Society of Radiologic Technologists just did a large salary survey. You can see how much a sonographer made, in your area, at this site:
