Diagnostic Medical Sonography Career

Diagnostic medical sonographers use ultrasound technology to create images that can be used to diagnose medical conditions. They perform tests by focusing high frequency sound waves on an area of a patient's body. They then pass on the information and images they gather to doctors, who are able to use them to draw conclusions and make diagnoses.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography Career Options
As a sonographer, you can choose from a number of specialties. Gynecologic sonographers focus on the female reproductive systems. These sonographers conduct what may be the most well known sonographic tests -- ultrasounds performed to view the fetus during pregnancy. Abdominal sonographers focus on the liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder. Neurosonographers capture images of the brain and the nervous system. Vascular sonographers perform their tests on the heart. Ophthalmologic sonographers specialize in the eyes. Most sonographers work in hospitals, but others find jobs in physicians' offices or in diagnostic imaging centers.

Training for a Diagnostic Medical Sonography Career
You can gain the skills you need to work as a sonographer in a variety of settings. Some colleges and universities offer programs in the field, both at the associate's and bachelor's degree levels. Some hospitals and vocational schools also have training programs that can provide you with a degree or certificate.

Getting diagnostic medical sonography training will prepare you for a great career. And once you begin working in the field, you'll enjoy the rewards it brings both to you and to the patients you work with.
