Program Overview

Use ultrasound to identify and diagnose diseases

Sonographers use ultrasound, or high-frequency sound waves, to identify and diagnose diseases in body organs and tissues. If you are interested in helping physicians understand problems in various parts of the body including the heart and blood vessels, abdominal organs, pelvic organs or providing images of the pregnant uterus, this may be the career for you.

UWL students in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program can choose the General/Vascular emphasis if they would like to diagnose issues in various areas of the body instead of specifically the heart. Diagnostic Medical Sonography is an undergraduate major that is nationally accredited and offers hands-on experiences with clinical rotations at reputable, regional healthcare centers including UW Health and Mayo Clinic Health System.
