诊断超声诊断学理学学士学位（超声）

超声波彻底改变了医学领域。它提供了独特的机会来诊断，评估和治疗疾病，而无需使用手术，注射染料或放射线。在过去的二十年中，它发展迅速，并有望在二十一世纪继续保持良好的发展。超声波很容易用于心脏，腹部器官，胎儿发育，男女生殖器官，肌腱，韧带，肌肉，眼睛以及整个身体的血流成像。诊断医学超声检查是一种无创，无毒的诊断医学成像方法，其中高频声波用于产生人体图像。超声很容易用于心脏，血流和腹部器官以及发育中的胎儿和雄性/雌性生殖器官的成像。但是超声波已经超越了放射学，妇产科，妇产科，血管学和心脏病学领域，现在已用于急
Imagine the possibilities that can result from attending a nationally-ranked ultrasound program that houses a modern, state-of-the-art scanning suite where classes are taught by outstanding faculty who are leaders in their field. The outcome is a first-rate educational experience, complete with one year of on-site clinical training, that sets you a path for success in a dynamic health care field. Diagnostic medical sonography, also referred to as ultrasound, has revolutionized the field of medicine. It offers a unique opportunity in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of medical diseases and conditions without the use of surgery, injection of dyes, or radiation. Diagnostic medical sonography is a noninvasive, nontoxic diagnostic medical imaging tool in which high-frequency sound waves are used to produce images of the human body. Ultrasound is readily used to image the heart, blood flow, and abdominal organs as well as the developing fetus and male/female reproductive organs. But ultrasound has found itself to be a critical health care tool beyond radiology, OB/GYN, vascular, and cardiology. It is now used in areas such as emergency medicine, orthopedics, sports medicine, ophthalmology, rheumatology, pain medicine, intensive care, and more. The profession has grown rapidly in the last 20 years and careers in diagnostic medical sonography are expected to continue to grow over the next several decades. Evaluation of the job market, advancements in medical technology, and a survey of current employers all indicate a strong demand for well-trained sonographers.<br>Our diagnostic medical sonography degree is a four-year program that includes a one year clinical internship. RIT is one of very few colleges with ultrasound programs in the U.S. that lead to a bachelor of science in diagnostic medical sonography.<br><br>RIT's ultrasound program provides comprehensive sonography education. The program begins with a solid foundation in biology, human anatomy and physiology, and human cross-sectional anatomy. Sonography courses include extensive didactic lectures with full immersion ultrasound scanning in our state-of-the-art Ultrasound Scanning Suite, where students have hands-on instruction in sonography instrumentation and sonographic scanning skills and techniques for vascular evaluation, obstetrics, gynecology, and abdominal and small parts sonography. These courses occur before a one-year clinical internship, where students work in a range of health care settings (hospitals, outpatient centers, physician offices, etc.) where they complete their sonography education with mentors, physicians, and other medical professionals. Courses in patient care and the liberal arts round out your studies. In addition to the development of scanning and diagnostic abilities that focus on relevancy to clinical practice, the program also emphasizes skills in administration, leadership, and research. You will be prepared for careers in diagnostic medical sonography and related medical fields, as well as for medical school and graduate programs in the health sciences. This is a program that provides a high-quality, comprehensive diagnostic medical sonography education. You will graduate well-prepared, well-trained, and sought-after in the workplace.
