Ultrasonography, also known as diagnostic medical sonography, is a process in which high-sound frequencies are used to obtain pictures of the inside of the body. It is similar to an X-ray, but uses no radiation. Learning the science of ultrasonography takes two years of college coursework (including a year of applied application in a clinical setting).
Instructions
1. Ask local colleges whether they have an ultrasonography program. The program is most commonly known as diagnostic medical sonography.
2. Fill out your registration forms and applications and return them to the school. You may be required to pay some of your fees at this time.
3. Apply for financial aid. You can find the forms at your school's financial aid office or online.
4. Take any prerequisite courses required by your school's ultrasonography program. Those will vary by college, but usually consist of math, English, computer and anatomy courses.
5. Purchase school supplies once you have been accepted into the ultrasonography program: books, biology supplies and uniforms.
6. Study hard and speak up when you do not understand something in class. It will take about two years to complete coursework and learn ultrasonography.
