A Diagnostic Medical Sonographer uses special equipment to examine internal organs. The ultrasound machinery sends sound waves through the body and then collects the reflected echoes to form an image of the body. Diagnostic Medical Sonographers can specialize in fields like Obstetrics or move into fields like Nuclear Medicine and Radiology.
