Why Choose a Career as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer?

Diagnostic sonography uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. The sonographer uses an instrument called an ultrasound transducer to scan parts of the patient’s body that are being examined. The transducer emits pulses of sound that bounce back, causing echoes. The echoes are then sent to an ultrasound machine, which processes them and displays them as images used by physicians for diagnosis.

Ultrasound allows your doctor to see problems with organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to make an incision.

Future Of Diagnostic Medical Sonographer

Employment of diagnostic medical sonographers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the large baby-boom population ages, the need to diagnose medical conditions will likely increase. Imaging technology is a tool used in making these diagnoses. Moreover, diagnostic medical sonographers and vascular technologists will continue to be needed in healthcare settings to provide an alternative to imaging techniques that involve radiation.
