Introductory exploration and analysis of selected topics with a specific theme indicated by course title listed in college class schedule. This course may be taken four times for credit as long as different topics are selected. Diagnostic Medical Imaging Vascular Sonography is a medical imaging modality that specializes in the use of high-frequency sound waves ultrasound to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with disorders of the arteries and veins.
Being able to communicate with patients and demonstrate compassion for patients who are sick or in pain is very important. In addition, technologists must be able to "think on their feet" to obtain the highest-quality exam because of the variances in every patient's anatomy and disease presentation. Lastly, people interested in sonography should enjoy being challenged, be able to stand for hours per day, and be willing to complete required continuing education classes during the course of their career.
Imaging procedures are generally done in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private doctors' offices and independent laboratories. There are also opportunities for sonographers to become commercial application specialists for medical equipment companies, educators and hospital administrators. The Vascular certificate program is designed to further enhance the careers of current registered sonographers by adding the Vascular specialty to their skill set.
