See inside the body with sound waves
Diagnostic medical sonographers use high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow. They work in hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers across specialties like OB/GYN, cardiac, vascular, and abdominal imaging.
You scan a pregnant patient to check fetal growth, image a gallbladder for stones, perform an echocardiogram on a cardiac patient, and document findings for the radiologist. Every scan helps guide critical medical decisions.
