Explore diagnostic ultrasound information from the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers:
“They operate special imaging equipment to create images or conduct tests,” to “help physicians assess and diagnose medical conditions.”
The sonography equipment uses high-frequency sound waves or ultrasound to produce images of pregnancy, internal organs, blood flow, and other physiological health situations.
The BLS stated that in May of 2017 the median annual wage for diagnostic medical sonographers was $71,410. From 2016 to 2026 the employment of diagnostic medical sonographers and cardiovascular technologist and technicians is projected to grow 17 percent which is much faster than the average for all occupations. As the Baby-boom population ages, the need to diagnose medical conditions like blood clots or heart disease will increase and as such, so will the need for imaging technology to make the diagnoses.
