**Diagnostic Sonography**

** A radiologist is the person who takes x-rays of your broken leg. They put the lead chest cover to protect you from the radiation. **
To become a radiologist, you must first go to medical school and get Physician before seeking advanced training in radiology. Radiology requires several years of advanced training following medical school and peoples houses. Additional years of training are required for radiologists who choose to specialize. Radiological technologists work in hospitals, medical clinics, medical labs, nursing homes, colleges, etc.

I think becoming a Diagnostic Sonographer would be very interesting to get into. I would get to use high-tech instrumentation to create and interpret from inside the human body that are used by physicians to make a medical diagnosis. Id also get a chance to work one on one with either healthy or critically ill people. There are several areas of specialization in the field of sonography: Abdomen- evaluation of all the soft tissues, blood vessels and organs of the abdominal cavities. Breast- frequently used to evaluate breast abnormalities that are found with screening or diagnostic mammography, etc. Sonographers and vascular technologists must be able to lift more than 50 pounds routinely, push and pull routinely, bend and stoop routinely, have full use of both hands, wrists and shoulders, distinguish audible sounds, adequately view sonograms, including color distinctions.
