    Hi Georgia,

    Thank you for your enquiry and sorry for the delay in replying.

    There are currently no ASA guidelines for the specific roles of sonographer's vs radiologists during interventional procedures.

    This is because sonographer roles can vary based on departmental processes, jurisdictional requirements (differs in Australian states), and the individual sonographer’s expertise.

    Clear communication between the sonographer and radiologist is important, and it is crucial to ensure that sonographers work within their scope of practice to deliver safe, personalized, and effective care.

    Thanks
