Ultrasound

Sonography is a specialty which uses equipment that generates high frequency sound waves to obtain images and information about the anatomy and vascular flow within the human body.

Using imaging procedures, communication skills and personal initiative, the sonographer gathers images and other data for interpretation and evaluation by the physician.

Diagnostic medical sonography includes subspecialties of abdominal sonography, neurosonography, echocardiography, obstetrical and pelvic sonography, and vascular technology.

In each of these areas, the sonographer must be knowledgeable of expected pathology, applicable instrumentation and results.
