A diagnostic medical sonographer provides a service to patients utilizing medial ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to produce images of internal structures. Sonographers obtain patient history, as well as other supporting clinical information, prior to saving sonographic images of human anatomy. After obtaining the sonographic images, they develop a preliminary report and submit the study to a radiologist, who then reads the images to help diagnose patients. Students who are accepted into the diagnostic medical sonography program at Weatherford College will learn how to scan abdominal-extended, obstetrics, gynecologic, and vascular ultrasound.

The Weatherford College Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org) upon the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography.
