Duties and Responsibilities:
Ultrasound technicians are responsible for producing images
of the body using sound waves. The images can be used to diagnose the patient’s
medical conditions. A sonographer is responsible for carrying out diagnostic
procedures as ordered by the physician, performs analysis of highly technical
information, and operates with sonographic machines. They also explain
procedures to the patients, positioning the patients properly for diagnostic
imaging, and determine whether the images are good enough for diagnosis.
Salary: $50,000 - $80,000
Education:
You'll need a high school diploma or GED, a good GPA and a
strong SAT/ACT score for college admission. Scientifically-oriented courses,
such as physics, biology and math, in high school work in your favor given
medicine's scientific nature.
