Sonographers are highly skilled medical professionals who work directly with patients to perform non-invasive imaging tests and procedures, providing physicians with diagnostic information about various systems of the body. Whether detecting a blood clot, evidence of cancer, signs of a cardiovascular disease, or monitoring an infant in the womb, sonographers are key members of a medical team.
