Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Ultrasound Technology Diagnostic medical sonographers or ultrasound technicians, use special equipment to direct nonionizing, high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient's body. Sonographers operate the equipment, which collects reflected echoes and forms an image that may be videotaped, transmitted, or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by a physician. Diagnostic medical sonographers may specialize in obstetric and gynecologic sonography (the female reproductive system), abdominal sonography (the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas), neurosonography (the brain), or breast sonography. In addition, sonographers may specialize in vascular technology or echocardiography. 
A career as a diagnostic medical sonographer or ultrasound technician is dynamic and rewarding. According to the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) Salary and Benefits Survey report (released March, 2005), the median salary for sonographers is $61,984. >> Sonography Career Information * Campuses with a DMS program accredited by the Commission on |
