Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Diagnostic medical sonographers are employed in hospitals, clinics, commercial imaging laboratories and physician offices where they use sophisticated imaging equipment that is dependent upon sound wave technology. In addition to preparing patients and operating equipment, diagnostic medical sonographers also work with radiologists, referring physicians and hospital management to assure quality patient care and diagnosis. 

Diagnostic medical sonographers also serve in capacities such as departmental managers, technical advisors and applications specialists, sales and service for ultrasound equipment manufacturers, and as educators.
