Gynecologic ultrasonography

Medical sonographer provides patient services in multiplicity of medical surroundings. Performing procedures on ultrasound machines to view and interpret images with sound waves. 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. With little experience about medical sonography, it turns out that ultrasound is not just about the reproductive system of a…

Ultrasound is a method of creating the best possible images to assist the Radiologist in the diagnosis of a patients pathology. This process occurs through sound waves. These sound waves have a frequency that is far beyond what humans can hear, although using these sound waves we are able to transmit ultrasound energy into the patient. Once the energy is inside the patient the structures reflect and distribute the sound which creates an echo. This echo is what allows us to produce an image of…

X-Ray Technician X-Ray Technicians (Also known as X-Ray technologist or Radiologic Technologists) use cutting edge imaging methods to visualize the inside of the human body. The images they created help the physicians to diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries. X-ray technicians work with a wide variety of imaging technologies including: Traditional Machines, Computerized Axial Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Fluoroscopy, and film and digital mammography. Some certificate…

Ultrasound Technologist Ultrasound Technologist are people who use high-frequency sound waves to create images of soft tissue in a patient’s body. Doctors and Physicians use these images to diagnose abnormalities and diseases in a patient. They also use these images for women's who are pregnant, to make sure the baby and the mother are both healthy. These people are also known to be as diagnostic medical sonographers. Their average annual salary is $63,630, and their hourly wages goes by…

The photo on the right shows a medical technician using an ultrasound machine to diagnose appendicitis to a patient, without the use of x-rays. The ultrasound imaging technique involves using high frequency sound waves and their echoes. The machine transmits high-frequency sound pulses into the patient’s body using a probe. In the image, the technician presses and moves the probe along the patient’s body. This photo was taken in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and obtained from *. In terms…

For example, there is the cardiac, breast, abdominal, neuro, ophthalmic, and obstetrical and gynecological sonographer. One of them is the obstetric and gynecologic sonographer, which this ultrasound technicians specializes in the female reproductive system, which the sonograms can be used to track the baby’s health and growth.

Ultrasound Technicians, also known as diagnostic medical sonographers, use equipment that makes sound waves to produce or record a picture of the internal organs. Sonography is an important medical field because it allows technicians and physicians to see and diagnose a patient’s condition in a minimally intrusive way. What once may have required exploratory surgery now is a quick outpatient procedure with minimal patient discomfort. Ultrasound works by using a high rate of sound waves and…

Diagnostic Medical Sonography Being able to identify bumps, inflammation, tissue mutilation, growths, and the overwhelming news of the sex of an unborn child all have one thing in common, an ultrasound. Diagnostic medical sonography, more commonly referred to as ultrasound, is a growing area of the health care sector with excellent job prospects. Sonographers are skilled clinicians who perform ultrasound studies as ordered by physicians for their patients. The images created by sonographers are…

How Technology Has Changed Fetal Ultrasound Introduction Technology has changed fetal ultrasound by allowing abnormalities to be found earlier and cured more precisely, being able to accurately judge anything from gender to age, and creating a better picture for the parents. “Fetal ultrasound is the safest way to check for problems and get information on the fetus” (The Future of Ultrasound: Color Photos and 4D Imagery, 2014, p.1). It is different than x-rays because it doesn’t use radiation,…
