What Type of Salary Does One Command as an Ultrasound Technician?
This always seems to be a question we have nowadays. Well…it’s understandable given the cost of an education and the cost of simply making enough money to pay our bills.
Ultrasound technology is a sub-speciality of radiographic technology. The question of pay has a great deal to do with where you went to school, was it an accredited facility, are you licensed by a State Board of Licensing and Regulation and how many years of experience do you bring to the job. Additionally, where you apply for work i.e., the geographic region has a great deal to do with how much money you get paid.
The average salary for an ultrasound technician ranges from approximately $40,000 - $89,000. These figures are rough estimates based on a state by state mean score. My suggestion is to go to an area that really needs the skills you bring. You have a better chance of commanding a livable wage.
