A number of allegations against Catherine Birnie, who was subject to a HCPC conduct and competence committee hearing in London, were found to be proved by the panel.
The hearing has been adjourned, but will reconvene in May to consider grounds, impairment, and, if necessary, sanction.
Mrs Birnie was employed at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in 2009, but left in 2014.
The panel heard how she was a superintendent ultrasound sonographer during the times subject to the allegations.
