## Scope

Ontario, Canada. The regulator's standards say registrants must be proficient in evaluating the images, data and tests to ensure they are satisfactory, that those practising diagnostic medical sonography must determine whether images are of sufficient diagnostic quality or additional or repeat images are necessary, and must record and communicate their observations and technical impressions to the reporting health professional. Effective 1 December 2025. It does not name unexpected findings, and it does not bar guidance software.

## What this means

In Ontario, deciding to scan more and flagging what was seen is the sonographer's own duty.

## What it does not show yet

It does not name unexpected findings or rule out software that helps.

## How to verify it yourself

Open CMRITO's Standards of Practice (effective 1 December 2025) and find "record and communicate their observations and technical impressions".
