This is mostly required in all medical jobs, but in this one they must be able to talk to the patient about what is going on and to speak to the doctor, To be very comprehensible towards the patient because there may be times when there’s something abnormal. Some of the Prenatal Sonography Technician is often standing throughout the day so a good physical stamina would help the Sonographer to get the work done on time. Ultrasound is very important, so in order to do such a precise job technical skills are needed . Hand-eye coordination is needed for emergency situations to detect something that should be there or not.(US 6)…
Diagnostic medical sonographers perform a variety of duties throughout a typical work day, ranging from more challenging responsibilities such as conducting ultrasound examinations, ensuring equipment undergoes proper maintenance when required, and patient care, to less arduous tasks like restocking supplies, sanitizing the work area and equipment at the end of every examination. The role of a diagnostic medical sonographer is significant in the healthcare community that helps with medical diagnosis and provides high-quality patient care. Sonographers interact heavily with patients from the moment he/she enters the examination until the moment he/she leaves. Because of this close, personal contact with patients, it is crucial for sonographers…
Both Radiology and Sonography are extremely competitive. For schooling, they both require clinical and volunteer hours in a hospital. The two both focus on images inside the body and help doctors better understand what is occurring in someone’s body. This means that the Radiology Technologist and Sonographers need to have a decent understanding of their anatomy. In these particular medical fields, it is important that one can operate computers, medical equipment, and scan devices.…
What are the pros and cons of these advanced scans and when is their use appropriate? One benefit of 3D scans is that they are more beneficial in providing detailed information on the fetal face and limbs. This allows for greater ability to identify birth defects.9 When a 3D ultrasound image is then viewed in motion, it is called a 4D scan. These scans are being used to observe fetal behavioral patterns and facial expressions, which are important indicators of brain and central nervous system development.…
Radiologic technologists are the human services authorities who execute symptomatic imaging systems, for example, X-beam examinations, attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) filters and processed tomography (CT) checks. Some of them focus on unmistakable techniques, for example, cardiovascular-interventional radiography, mammography or sonography. Radiologic technologists are responsible for situating patients and ensuring that a quality symptomatic picture is created Radiologists are physicians who specialize in capturing and analyzing medical images. They play an amazing role in the health care field because using medical radiation, they diagnose illness and in some cases even treat patients. They also work in numerous settings that can include diagnostic imaging centers, radiation therapy treatment clinics, hospitals, or even in private practices.…
According to David Richardson, author of Modern Ceramic Engineering, ceramics have been used for medical diagnoses for several years. Most petri dishes, test tubes, and microscopic lenses are created from ceramic glass and plastics. Computed Tomography, or CT, scans use ceramic scintillators to detect the presence of x-rays which have passed through the body, and project an image onto a computer, giving doctors an inside look into a patient’s body. Endoscopes and Ultrasound machines also make use of ceramic material to provide doctors with inside looks into the human body through non-invasive means. In endoscopic surgeries, a flexible tube filled with ceramic optical fibers and a ceramic lens, known as an endoscope, is inserted into to small…
Medical sonographer provides patient services in multiplicity of medical surroundings. Performing procedures on ultrasound machines to view and interpret images with sound waves. Ultrasound can be used for medical imaging, detection, measurement and cleaning (“10 Interesting fact” 2014). Obstetrics (OB)/Gynecology ultrasound was the reason why I was interested in sonography. Being able to tell a mother the gender of their unborn baby on the day of their scan can be an excitement.…
“Fewer women would have abortions if wombs had windows. More than 90% of women considering an abortion choose life for their babies after having an ultrasound. –Former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson. I am most interested in pursuing a career in the medical imagery field as a sonographer, also known as ultrasound technician because it is interactive, has a broad variety of job duties, and has excellent benefits and job outlook.…
Upon completing high school, I plan to attend Austin Community College, ACC, to earn a degree in Diagnostic Medial Sonography. My plan is to settle down in a city the size of Bryan/College Station, Texas when I finish college; therefore, I am hoping the job market will allow this. My passion is to work in the field of obstetrics. I cannot think of a more exciting event than seeing life form before it enters the world. I want to enjoy seeing the excitement on parents faces when they view their unborn child or find out the sex of that child.…
Ultrasounds produce high-frequency sound waves that are projected into the body causing echoes that record the visual structures beneath the skin. A shadow picture is constructed from different echoes being reflected from a variety of tissues (Radiological Society of North America). Ultrasounds can come in many forms. Traditional images are displayed in thin, flat sections of the body. However, advancement in technology now includes 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds as well as many other specific types (Radiological Society of North…
Notably, my goal after high school is to further my education with schooling by either attending Grand Valley, MIchigan State or Central Michigan University. My career choice is to major in Diagnostic Medical Sonography or major in a fashion career, which are two very different career choices. It really all depends with which college has the best programs to me, but if i decide to go into the medical field I’d like to attend Grand Valley State University. I thought Diagnostic Medical Sonography would be a good career choice for me because I found ultrasounds really interesting and how you’re able to see either a baby or something that is wrong when you get injured. With my other career choice, I’ve always had a huge interest in fashion, and a lot of the clothes and designers today have impacted me and it’s a big inspiration with what I might want to do for the rest of my life.…
Acoustics is the branch of physics concerned with the study of sound. Sound is a wave made of vibrations in the air. Waves can be measured in a range of different ways: by their amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed, and, at times, their phase. Sound information is transmitted by the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations, where the amplitude is experienced as loudness and frequency as pitch. The vibration is started by some mechanical movement and this causes a vibration on the molecules next to the mechanical event.…
