Good sonographers possess excellent technical skills, eye-hand coordination, and attention to detail
A diagnostic medical sonographer helps physicians diagnose and monitor various medical conditions by using ultrasound imaging machines that produce sound waves inside the body to generate images of internal organs, tissues, or blood flow.
Responsibilities include obtaining patient medical histories, preparing the patient for the ultrasound procedure, operating the equipment, analyzing the images, and collaborating with physicians, radiologists, and other medical professionals to discuss the results.
A sonographer can choose to specialize in a range of areas. Common specialties include OB/GYN, abdomen, and superficial structures, echocardiography, vascular technology, musculoskeletal, and neurosonography.
Sonographers work in a variety of health care settings, such as hospitals, private clinics, and diagnostic imaging centers.
