BECOME A DIAGNOSTIC SONOGRAPHER

Sonographers are both scientists and artists, creating detailed images of the human body that aid physicians in making accurate diagnoses. Diagnostic medical sonography is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time images of organs, glands, blood vessels, and developing babies—commonly known as ultrasounds. These crucial images provide essential information for physicians to develop effective patient treatment plans.

At Beckfield College, our Diagnostic Medical Sonography program prepares you to excel in this vital healthcare role. Additionally, as a sonographer, you have the potential to branch out into various specialties within the medical field, offering diverse career opportunities.

The Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at Beckfield College is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).*
