Course Info

Summary

Vascular sonographers, also known as vascular technologists operate sophisticated diagnostic ultrasound imaging machines and transducers that use high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual images, to record:

Vascular blood flow
Blood pressure
Limb volume changes
Oxygen saturation
Cerebral circulation
Peripheral circulation
Abdominal circulation
Vascular sonographers also assist physicians in diagnosing disorders of the vascular system by acquiring informatoin related to blood vessell anatomy and physiology.

Vascular sonographers work directly with healthy and critically ill inpatients and outpatients of adult and geriatric ages, performing predominantly noninvasive procedures in small, low-lit rooms. They stand or sit beside the patient, who is on a stretcher, exam table or wheelchair. Sometimes the vascular sonographer will transport a portable ultrasound to a patient's room, emergency department, or operating room to perform the examination there.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program is to provide a comprehensive education preparing students for entry-level practice in Sonography as competent, caring members of the health care team, cultivating professionalism and life-long learning.
