Choosing a Career That Makes a Difference
Why should I choose Diagnostic Medical Sonography as a Profession?
What is it that makes Diagnostic Medical Sonography an interesting career
choice?
"Variety", they say that it is the spice of life and variety is the
reason many sonographers choose ultrasound as their occupation. Our
patients come in a wide range of ages, size and conditions that make
imaging a challenge. We perform a surprising amount of diverse exams daily
from prenatal ultrasounds and scans of the solid organs of the body to
neurosonology, interventional procedures and vascular studies. We are
medical detectives on the trail of a diagnosis.
Diagnostic Medical Sonographers use computer technology along with a
transducer (a hand held devise that houses a specialized crystal) to
produce high frequency sound waves that enter the body and return to the
transducer to produce quality images for the assessment and diagnosis of
various medical conditions.
Sonographers routinely find jobs in hospitals, physician offices, mobile
companies, temporary traveling agencies, veterinary offices, educational
facilities and as application specialist for companies that manufacture
ultrasound equipment.
