How much does a Sonogram technician get paid on average?

Sonogram technicians have specialized training that can help lead to a higher salary. The average salary of a sonogram technician can range between sixty and ninety thousand dollars a year.


When did sonogram invented?

Walter Winston Taylor. He was in residency at the time in Rochester, New York. Rh-negative babies had little hope of survival as transfusions were difficult. One of his hobbies was electronics. He combined his hobby with his medical practice so as to perform safe transfusions. He demonstrated his devise first in the early 1960s. He became an MD in obstetrics, mostly practicing in Dallas TX. He passed away around 2006.


Does sonogram use radiation?

No, ultrasound used in sonograms does not involve radiation. It uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body.


How long to get a degree in sonogram?

It typically takes 2-4 years to obtain a degree in sonography, depending on the program and whether you pursue an associate's or bachelor's degree. Additionally, you may need to complete a clinical internship or externship as part of your training.


What is the difference between an ultrasound and a sonogram?

Ultrasound is the name of the proceedure; a Sonogram is the picture image produced by an ultrasound scan.Therapeutic ultrasoud uses low frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the injured tissue during rehabilitation. This form of ultrasound creates heat using the lower frequencies, and the heat will help heal the injury. These sound waves are sent into the body using a transducer with no intent or way to capture any return they may have. Thus, no image is created. The sound waves are instead used and converted into heat energy.Medical ultrasound used for imaging purposes, including pregnancy, uses higher frequency sound waves. The transducer (the small wand-like structure used during the exam on the skin surface) creates these sound waves, sends them into the body, and when they bounce off of structures and return to the transducer they are captured and converted to mechanical energy and displayed on the monitor.
