Attention all prospective imaging science students
please click on the link of RTE1000 to find out more about a new offering in the imaging science programs.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) is a rapidly emerging, relatively new medical diagnostic technique. High frequency ultrasound waves are transmitted like sonar through the human body, and the reflections are converted into images that map out the body. The images are called sonograms. Ultrasound is used to image organs, muscles, masses, fluid accumulations and the unborn fetus. Unlike X-rays, diagnostic ultrasound waves do not involve radiation. To date, no known biological hazardous effects, to the patient or sonographer, have been documented.

The diagnostic medical sonographer is a skilled person qualified by academic, laboratory, and clinical training to provide patient services. The sonographer serves as the eyes and ears of the physician, who will interpret the medical images produced through sonography.

Sonographers work in a variety of health care settings, including regional medical centers, hospitals, diagnostic centers, clinics, and doctors’ offices. They perform their duties in diagnostic labs, trauma centers, emergency rooms, operating rooms, interventional suites, labor and delivery facilities, and at the bedside. The job positions available to sonographers range from staff sonographer to supervisor, department manager, educator, applications specialist, sales associate, and research and development technology.
