About the role
- We're looking for Sonographers, Ultrasound Technologists, and other medical imaging professionals with hands-on ultrasound experience to support an AI-powered medical imaging project.
- As an Ultrasound Image Annotator, you will review ultrasound video frames and accurately identify and label anatomical structures and acoustic shadows. Your work will contribute to the development of high-quality datasets used to train and improve AI-powered medical imaging technologies.
- This role is ideal for professionals who have experience interpreting ultrasound images, enjoy detail-oriented work, and can consistently follow precise guidelines.
Previous data annotation experience is not required. Training on the annotation tool and project-specific guidelines will be provided.
What you'll do
- Review ultrasound video frames to identify anatomical structures, tissue boundaries, and acoustic shadows.
- Accurately outline and label structures using specialized annotation software and detailed guidelines.
- Compare images across video frames and reference materials to ensure accurate and consistent labeling.
- Identify and flag unclear or low-quality images rather than making assumptions.
- Maintain high standards of accuracy, consistency, and productivity, incorporating feedback to continuously improve.
- Participate in training, calibration sessions, and occasional team discussions.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience working with and interpreting ultrasound images, ideally as a Sonographer, Ultrasound Technologist, or related medical imaging professional.
- Working knowledge of anatomy, particularly bone, organ, and skeletal structures, including how these appear on ultrasound.
- Understanding of ultrasound image characteristics, including brightness, depth, tissue boundaries, and acoustic shadowing.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow precise written instructions consistently.
- Comfort using computers and learning new software, including tools requiring accurate mouse or stylus control.
- Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
- Ability to work independently, maintain confidentiality, and participate in scheduled training and calibration sessions.
Nice to have
- Certification or formal training in sonography, radiography, or a related medical imaging field.
- Experience in musculoskeletal, spine, organ, or pain management ultrasound imaging.
- Previous experience in medical image annotation, data labeling, or image quality review.
- Experience working with detailed imaging protocols, reference images, or standardized guidelines.
