Sonographers (Mtrasonographers):

Direct high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient's body; the equipment then collects reflected echoes to form an image. The image is viewed on a screen and may be recorded on videotape or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by physicians. Viewing the screen as the scan takes place, Sonographers look for subtle differences between healthy and unhealthy areas, decide which images to include, and judge if the images are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes.
