Image for Sonographer

Sonographer

A sonographer is a trained healthcare professional who uses specialized ultrasound equipment to create images of the inside of the body. These images help doctors diagnose and monitor medical conditions. Sonographers operate the ultrasound machine, apply gel to the skin, and move the device to capture clear images of organs, tissues, or unborn babies during pregnancies. Their work requires a good understanding of anatomy, medical conditions, and how to produce high-quality images. They play a vital role in healthcare by providing critical information that guides diagnosis and treatment decisions.
