Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a dynamic medical imaging profession. It is presently being used to evaluate many soft tissue organs in the body. Some of these organs are the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and pancreas. One of the most fascinating uses of diagnostic ultrasound is the examination and evaluation of the unborn child.

Properly-trained sonographers are in demand in hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, marketing, applications, and mobile services.
The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Graduates are eligible to take the national certifying examinations administered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
