An Act relative to sonographers and vascular technologists

This bill amends Massachusetts law to establish specific requirements for sonographers and vascular technologists who perform diagnostic ultrasound services. It mandates that these non-physician professionals must hold credentials from recognized national organizations or work in laboratories accredited by major medical societies. Additionally, the bill requires that their work be conducted under the supervision of a licensed physician, while explicitly allowing doctors to continue performing ultrasound procedures themselves.
