Company: Vanquish Cancer
Location: Remote (Anywhere)
Requirement: Ultrasound (EUS preferred not required)
Job Type: Contract / Part-Time (Flexible Hours)
About Us:
Vanquish Cancer is developing advanced AI-driven diagnostic platforms focused on improving early detection of cancer through endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) imaging. Our work combines clinical expertise with machine learning to transform how medical imaging data is interpreted.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a skilled Ultrasound Imaging Specialist to support annotation and analysis of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) imaging datasets. This role involves reviewing recorded procedures, identifying clinically relevant image frames, and annotating anatomical structures using a proprietary software platform.
You will play a key role in training AI models by ensuring high-quality, clinically accurate image labeling.
We accept ultrasound technologists, inculding with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) experience. Confident interpretation of pancreatic anatomy and pathology, will be highly competitive.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review EUS video recordings and identify diagnostically relevant image frames
- Annotate anatomical structures using provided software tools
- Differentiate tissue characteristics, including structural patterns, echogenicity, rigidity, and abnormalities
- Follow standardized annotation protocols to ensure consistency and accuracy
- Collaborate with clinical and technical teams to refine annotation quality
Qualifications:
- Background in ultrasound imaging (e.g., Sonographer, Ultrasound Technologist, Radiology Tech, or related field)
- Strong ability to interpret ultrasound images and distinguish anatomical structures
- High attention to detail and ability to follow structured protocols
- Comfortable working with digital imaging and annotation tools
Preferred Experience:
- Experience with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
- Familiarity with pancreatic imaging and anatomy
- Clinical experience in gastroenterology or related field
- Prior experience with medical image annotation or AI datasets
- Exposure to DICOM viewers or imaging software platforms
Certifications preferred:
- Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS) from ARDMS, ideally with Abdomen (AB) specialty.
- ARRT Sonography credential (RT(S)) as an alternative pathway for certified sonographers.
- Completion of an accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography program (e.g., CAAHEP-accredited or equivalent).
Additional certifications strongly preferred:
- RDMS (AB) plus demonstrable abdominal/GI experience (helps signal comfort around pancreas, liver, biliary tree).
- Any formal endoscopy/EUS training or certificate course (e.g., EUS-focused training through GI societies or hospital programs), even though most EUS “certification” frameworks are geared to physicians/endoscopists rather than techs.
What We Offer:
- Flexible, remote work environment
- Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge cancer diagnostics
- Competitive hourly or project-based compensation
- Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of clinicians, engineers, and researchers
Pay: $30.00 - $80.00 per hour
Benefits:
Application Question(s):
- Describe your experience with ultrasound imaging, including any exposure to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures.
- Have you worked with pancreatic imaging before (EUS or other modalities)? If yes, briefly describe your level of comfort identifying pancreatic structures and pathology.
- This is a remote, computer‑based image annotation role. How many hours per week can you reliably commit over the next 3–6 months, and what hourly rate range are you targeting?
- Describe your certifications including:
1. Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS) from ARDMS
2. RDMS with Abdomen (AB) specialty.
3. ARRT Sonography credential (RT(S)) as an alternative pathway for certified sonographers
4. Completion of an accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography program (e.g., CAAHEP-accredited or equivalent)
- Do you have RDMS (AB) plus demonstrable abdominal/GI experience. Does this include pancreas, liver, and/or biliary tree?
- Do you have endoscopy or EUS training or certificate course (e.g., EUS-focused training through GI societies or hospital programs)?
