What is SONOGRAPHY?

Ultrasound One of the ever-growing screening methods in the healthcare industry today is Medical Ultrasound (Ultrasonography). Commonly known as the screening used to monitor the uterus and fetus during pregnancy, Ultrasound scans can also be used to view internal body structures and organs. The use of this screening method among medical institutions has been rapidly increasing because it is more effective, flexible, radiation-free, time-saving and more cost-efficient, compared to the other screening methods like X-rays, CT and MRI. Because of these risk-free advantages, diagnostic teams are moving towards making ultrasound screening as a primary imaging modality when making a diagnosis for many diseases and conditions, especially those that are musculoskeletal. According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics, the employment demand of medical sonographers is projected to increase by 39% between 2016 and 2022.

With the surge of the ultrasound screening usage over the years, the industry is struggling to fill-in the professional vacancies for the execution and interpretation of ultrasound screenings. Most radiographers, nurses and doctors have never been exposed to the curriculum and training of this screening method. Due to the lack of manpower, medical institutions are now investing efforts and resources into recruiting sonographers and also equipping staff with sonography skills.
