Sonographers have extensive direct patient contact which may include performing invasive procedures.This technically challenging, patient-focused field demands that sonographers demonstrate a high level of decision making, diagnostic responsibility, and critical thinking skills.Sonographers are part of a medical team, which includes physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who provide essential clinical information that is used to plan treatment and care for patients.There are several areas of specialization in the field of sonography which include obstetrics/gynecology, abdomen, echocardiography, vascular, breast, and pediatric sonography.As a radiation-free medical imaging modality, Diagnostic Medical Sonography provides important clinical information for the diagnosis and treatment of patients.Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) is a medical technology using high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic multi-dimensional visual images of organs, tissue, and blood flow.
