Ultrasound America

Owner, Susan Pritts, RDMS, RCS, RT (R), has been providing ultrasound services since 1995. She is a registered sonographer in multiple imaging specialty areas; credentialed through the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) and Cardiovascular Credentialing International, (CCI), she is also licensed through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). She is known for her talents in teaching clinical skills and uses a practical "hands on" approach in her communications.

"From the first time I saw ultrasound used I was captivated! It amazed me to see the human body in such intricate detail; from beating hearts to real-time observations of physiologic movements and organs. Everything is affected by such small actions, like breathing or stretching. It continues to keep me in awe of such a wonderful design - God's handiwork.”
