Associate of science in Diagnostic medical sonography
Diagnostic Medical Sonography, or more commonly known as ultrasound technology, is essentially an inside look of the human body using high-frequency sound waves that produces real-time images of organs, tissue and blood flow. Diagnostic Medical Sonography is essential in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
