Medical Sonography

Capturing ultrasound images during pregnancy is one of many roles you can fulfill as a Medical Sonographer. This evolving technology can also be used to assist physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of many medical conditions.

Physics, cross-sectional anatomy, abdominal, introductory vascular, and obstetrical/gynecological sonography are all emphasized. You'll become proficient in identifying normal anatomy and pathological processes, use of equipment, fetal growth and development, integration of related imaging, and patient interaction skills.

Graduates of accredited programs may be eligible to take examinations in ultrasound physics and instrumentation and specialty examinations administered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and find employment in clinics, physicians’ offices, mobile services, hospitals, and educational institutions.
