 An ultrasound machine consists of a transducer (a type of probe) and a central processing unit or computer connected to a display (monitor), keyboard and printer.

 Ultrasounds are noninvasive tests that are used to create images of organs and systems within the body. Also referred to as sonograms, ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to capture the movement of the body's structures and can also display blood flowing through vessels. Doctors use ultrasounds to diagnose a variety of medical conditions and to assess organ function.

 Conducting gel is rubbed on area of body  Machine sends out high-frequency sound waves  Sound waves get reflected off of body parts  The machine computes distances and echoes of reflected sound waves and translates them into 2D images

 Transducer probe  Central processing unit (CPU)  Transducer pulse controls  Display  Keyboard/cursor  Disk storage device  Printer

 High School Degree  Ultrasound Technician Program  Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)  Associates Degree (two year programs) OR  Bachelor’s Degree (four year program)  6-8 Month programs  American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS)  Clinical training, to get enough hours to take the exam  Two parts, “a general physics section and a sub- specialty of your choice (ob-gyn, abdominal, breast, etc.)”

 Hospitals are the major employer of diagnostic medical imaging professionals, however, they are able to work in doctor’s offices as well.

 Doctors  Radiologists  Physicians  Gynecologists  Oncologists  Gastroenterologists  Cardiologists

 Where do Ultrasound Technician’s work? - Hospitals, doctor’s offices, private practices  What is an Ultrasound used for? - It provides 2D or 3D images of a part of the body to capture tumors, growths, or a fetus.  What is the name of the tool that is moved around the patient’s body in order to produce images? - A Transducer (Probe)
