Ultrasound Technician

Ultrasound Technicians, officially called Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, use specialized imaging equipment to create pictures of the body's internal structures. These images help physicians diagnose and monitor a wide range of medical conditions, from pregnancy complications to heart disease. Employment of diagnostic medical sonographers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations, with about 5,800 openings projected each year. Demand is driven by the growing use of ultrasound as a safe, non-radiation imaging option across many clinical specialties. If you enjoy working directly with patients and have an interest in technology and anatomy, sonography is a strong and growing career path.
