About
Diagnostic Medical Sonography is one of the safest medical imaging specialties available today. Sonography, or ultrasound, is a non-invasive diagnostic medical imaging procedure used to visualize organs or systems in the body. As a diagnostic medical sonographer, you will use special equipment to direct high frequency sound waves into areas of a patient’s anatomy. The sound waves bounce off the surfaces of the structures they hit, creating an image on a monitor. You will use these images to assist qualified physicians to make a medical diagnosis.
The Georgetown campus offers the general learning concentration in diagnostic medical sonography. The Wilmington campus offers two learning concentrations: general & cardiovascular.
The general learning concentration focuses on the areas of abdomen, obstetrics /gynecology, superficial structures, and vascular. The cardiovascular learning concentration focuses on procedures that help to diagnose abnormalities related to heart and vascular diseases.
