Question

Write a paragraph answering this question. What is Diagnostic Medical Sonography Specialization?

Answer 1

ultra sound technology also called medical sonography—or simply sonography—is a medical diagnostic tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of a person’s internal organs, tissues and blood.Using a small wand-like instrument called a transducer, sound waves are transmitted into a specific part of the body, and the returning echo waves are captured and converted into images. These images are known as “ultrasound scans” or “sonograms.” Doctors use ultrasound imaging to find abnormalities of the internal organs and diagnose illness, as well as to monitor the health of developing fetuses in pregnant women.

The below are some specialities in Diagnostic Medical Sonography:

• Abdominal sonographers specialize in generating images of the internal organs and tissues located within the abdomen such as the liver, pancreas, spleen and gallbladder.
• Breast sonographers conduct ultrasound scans using a sound frequency specifically targeted for breast tissue to evaluate tumors and other abnormalities found in mammograms or physical exams.
• Obstetrics/Gynecology (OB/GYN) sonographers work exclusively with women to survey their reproductive organs and track the health and development of fetuses during pregnancy.
• Echocardiography sonographers, specializing in echocardiography (EKG) are trained in the evaluation and imaging of the heart, its related valves and vessels, and blood flow to and from the heart.
• Vascular technologists are trained to use special equipment designed to visually track blood flow in other areas of the body.
• Ophthalmology sonographers perform diagnostic tests on the eyes and surrounding muscles and tissue.
• Neurosonology sonographers are specially trained to use ultrasound imaging on the brain and spinal cord.

The technicians who are getting specialised in multiple specialities has more value and demand in the industry,specially valuable by potential employers since they only have to hire one technician to perform multiple procedures in multiple departments.
