Ultrasound sonography is a medical imaging field.
The field of medical ultrasonography utilizes sound waves to produce images that allow doctors to assess and diagnose various illnesses, injuries and other medical conditions, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Training as an ultrasound sonographer may be obtained through on-the-job training or through formal programs at educational institutions, including vocational or technical schools, community colleges, and traditional four-year colleges and universities.
