Your Career in Ultrasound Technology
Date: March 11, 2019
Ultrasound technology utilizes high-frequency sound waves to generate detailed images of organs and systems within the human body. These images are significant in the diagnostic assessment of medical conditions. Although many people commonly associate ultrasound technology with fetal viewing/obstetrics, there are many ultrasound modalities, such as vascular, abdominal, small parts, and gynecology.
An ultrasound technologist (sonographer) is specialized in one or more areas of ultrasound. The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) enables sonographers to register their specialization.
As technological advancements are made throughout the healthcare industry, ultrasound technology has an advancing role within the medical community. There are no health risks associated with ultrasound, as the examination uses no radiation.
Depending on the type of examination, ultrasound is generally non-invasive and is a universal diagnostic assessment utilized by medical professionals. In the United States, the demand for ultrasound sonographers is very high.
