Course Overview

Diagnostic medical sonography also referred to as ultrasound, has revolutionized the field of medicine. It offers a unique opportunity in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of medical diseases and conditions without the use of surgery, injection of dyes, or radiation. Diagnostic medical sonography is a noninvasive, nontoxic diagnostic medical imaging tool in which high-frequency sound waves are used to produce images of the human body. Ultrasound is readily used to image the heart, blood flow, and abdominal organs as well as the developing fetus and male/female reproductive organs. But ultrasound has found itself to be a critical health care tool beyond radiology, OB/GYN, vascular, and cardiology. It is now used in areas such as emergency medicine, orthopedics, sports medicine, ophthalmology, rheumatology, pain medicine, intensive care, and more. The profession has grown rapidly in the last 20 years and careers in diagnostic medical sonography are expected to continue to grow over the next several decades. Evaluation of the job market, advancements in medical technology, and a survey of current employers all indicate a strong demand for well-trained sonographers.
