BECOME A DIAGNOSTIC SONOGRAPHER

Sonographers are part scientist and part artist, creating images of the human anatomy and assisting the physicians in a final diagnosis. Diagnostic medical sonography is a noninvasive imaging technology performed in a real-time format. Sonographers use high-frequency sound waves to image the organs, glands, blood vessels, and babies of their patients, also known as ultrasounds. These images become valuable information for the ordering physician to treat these patients. Sonographers have the potential to diversify into other aspects of the medical field. The Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at Beckfield College is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).*
