  2. Sonographer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonographer

    Due to the high levels of decisional latitude and diagnostic input, sonographers have a high degree of responsibility in the diagnostic process. Many countries require medical sonographers to have professional certification. Sonographers have core knowledge in ultrasound physics, cross-sectional anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

  3. Diagnostic medical sonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_medical_sonography

    Diagnostic Medical Sonography Degree Prerequisites: When enrolled in a degree seeking program, most colleges or universities will have a core curriculum that is required before starting ultrasound courses. The core studies are designed to prepare students for the specialized and more technical nature of the degree major.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Registry_for...

    The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS), incorporated in June 1975, is an independent nonprofit organization that administers examinations and awards credentials in the areas of diagnostic medical sonography, diagnostic cardiac sonography, vascular technology, physicians’ vascular interpretation, musculoskeletal sonography and midwifery ultrasound.

  5. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

  6. Ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasound

    Ultrasound is defined by the American National Standards Institute as "sound at frequencies greater than 20 kHz". In air at atmospheric pressure, ultrasonic waves have wavelengths of 1.9 cm or less. Ultrasound can be generated at very high frequencies; ultrasound is used for sonochemistry at frequencies up to multiple hundreds of kilohertz.

  7. Cardiovascular technologist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_technologist

    Technicians who use ultrasound to examine the heart chambers, valves, and vessels are referred to as cardiac sonographers. [1] They use ultrasound instrumentation to create images called echocardiograms. An echocardiogram may be performed while the patient is either resting or physically active. Technicians may administer medication to ...

  8. Radiographer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiographer

    Sonographer, Ultrasound Radiographer, Ultrasound Technologist, Ultrasonographer: 2D, 3D and Doppler Sonography: Images anatomy and related pathology (such as cancer or cardiopulmonary diseases) using ultrasound waves.

  9. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Ultrasound image showing the liver, gallbladder and common bile duct. Medical ultrasound uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. This is commonly associated with imaging the fetus in pregnant women. Uses of ultrasound are much broader, however.
