Sonography (Ultrasound)

Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography

Diagnostic medical sonography uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce both 2D and 3D dynamic images of tissue, organs, and blood flow inside the human body. The areas of abdomen, obstetrics/gynecology, echocardiography, and vascular technology make up the basic modalities of sonography. The sonographer, a highly skilled advanced imaging specialist, uses sophisticated equipment to master the art of scanning. They work closely with physicians to provide accurate detection of disease and the highest-quality patient care.

“The sonography program has benefited greatly from the Student Assistance Fund. Our students face the same issues as all people in our community. Divorce, homelessness, and family tragedies have all occurred. If it were not for the student assistance fund helping students with immediate needs, I believe many would have been forced to drop out. These are students who are now successful health professionals. I can’t thank you enough!”
