Diagnostic Radiography

The primary focus of a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is to create images by using a high-tech instrument which will take images from inside the human body that will be used by doctors to make a medical diagnosis (Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 2015).

Do any of you know what a Diagnostics Medical Sonographer is? I don't think very many people know what Diagnostic Medical Sonographer is, so I will be telling you guys what that is. I will be telling you about the job, about how much money you get, what you do during the job, the education you need for the job, why I like this job, and why other people like this job.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a career that falls within the medical and health field. Diagnostic medical sonographers utilize machinery known as sonographic scanners. These scanners create images of the patient's internal organs. There are a few other names that this specific career may be referred to as, which are Ultrasound Tech and/or Medical Imaging. Although though there are advancement possibilities, there are pros and cons about the career. The work environment may be difficult, and differential diagnosis is found within sonography. There is a lot of time and dedication needed as well as important information to know and understand about the career before deciding whether or not this is the chosen path that will be taken. I have decided that DMS is the career I want to be successful in because I have always had the interest of becoming a prenatal sonographer. I love working with people and I also wouldn’t mind being the person that could potentially save someone else’s life by

One of the main reasons for choosing a healthcare career in todays society, aside from the basic need for a self sustaining income, is the opportunity to make differences in peoples lives. With the demand for healthcare professionals and alternative medicines on the rise, so is the need for adequately educated trained personnel. Diagnostic Medical Sonography is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to radiologic procedures such as x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Accounting for approximately 50,300 jobs in the United States in 2008, compared to the 214,000 jobs held by radiologic technicians, according to

To achieve my goal to attend Johnston Community College’s Medical Sonography program I have to start by completing an application for general college admission. After completing the admission process I will then have to start on my classes that are required for me to be accepted into the program. Once I fit the requirements for the program I will then I will then I will sign up for the Medical Sonography program, which should take about two years. To successfully reach my goal I may have to cut back on the hours that I take at my part time jobs. At the moment I have a lot of free time which allows me to have two job, once I begin working on my goal I expect to be forced to either quit one of my jobs or to cut back on my hours.

PFCC provides a theoretical viewpoint that can be useful, especially in the case of pediatric patients. “PFCC seeks to improve the health and well-being of pediatric patients and their families through a respectful patient/family-professional partnership. It honors the strengths, cultures, traditions, and expertise that all members of this partnership bring to the relationship” (Dudley, Ackerman, Brown, and Snow, 2015, p. e256).

This essay aims to describe briefly what is meant by patient-centred care. It will also focus and expand on two key aspects of patient dignity - making choices and confidentiality. Patient-centred care (PCC) is an extensively used model in the current healthcare system (Pelzang 2010:12). PCC is interpreted as looking at the whole person and considering their individual values and needs in relation to their healthcare. By implementing a PCC approach it ensures that the person is at the very centre of any plans that are made and has a dynamic role in the decision making process (Pelzang 2010:12).

Heart beating fast, adrenaline flowing, and pressure in the air, is what one would expect in a career in a medical field; extremely demanding yet very rewarding and fulfilling. When working in a health care profession, patients often place their trust in a health care stranger’s hands to determine their diagnosis and to establish a treatment strategy. According to the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, a diagnostic medical sonographer is an individual who provides patient care services utilizing ultrasound and related diagnostic procedures. In addition, the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography states a diagnostic medical sonographer is a multi-specialty profession comprised of many diverse emerging clinical areas (Bendick, P.

Person centred care (PCC) is a terminology that is associated with the health care professions. PCC is basically a type of care that the healthcare staff are expected to be given to the patients. PCC is built on the fact that patients should be treated with respect, should be allowed to exercise their power of choice and treated as an equal, regardless of their skin, colour or religion. PCC also identifies that healthcare staff should try to empathise how the patient would be feeling and also to be more compassionate with these individuals (Royal College of Nursing- Person centred care 2015). PCC is also described as a holistic attitude and care to the patients. In PCC there is more effort for the patient to be individualised and have more say in their care rather than being institutionalized also it is a care that encourages the patient’s self-confidence and autonomy

Discuss your reaction to the people you worked with and their reaction to you. The people I worked with were absolutely fantastic. They were all very friendly and seemed to enjoy having me there. Everyone was willing to answer my questions and go in depth with what they were doing so I could gain as much knowledge as possible in the short time that I was there.

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer program matches my intelligence for several different reasons. The Anatomy and Physiology of the human body intrigues me just thinking about how the different organs, bones, and systems work. My deep interest in this area is one of the many reasons I decided to pursue a career in this field.

After being away for my first year of college, I finally got to see what this world is full of and the plethora of opportunities that are out there. My academic goals consist of completing my requirements at Monterey Peninsula College and earning my Associates Degree, then attempt to get into Cabrillo College’s Radiology Certification program to get my life started. My vocational goals are to get certified as a Radiology Technician, then eventually go a step higher and become a Radiologist. During my college experience, I have experienced what it is like to “wear many hats.” I am a full time college student and athlete, as well as working to help pay off my education. It was a rough start trying to find the time to balance everything,

Being a student is a difficult task. Many find college as a trying time in their life. I confirm this allegation as a student in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Since beginning college in 2013, I have developed not only academically, but as a person in general. After my acceptance into the sonography program, I believe I progressed much more rapidly in both aspects of my life. The demand of the program is tremendous; success is attainable with the right sentiment, however. I know I am a strong person and I can do anything I set my mind to; including conquering the program and excelling in this profession. While I know this to be the truth, I also know the only thing capable of holding me back is myself. While I know I can and will achieve my dreams, I know I

we found an apparent clinico - radiological discrepancy between sciatica described by patients on one side and MRI finding on the other side without any other abnormality. The cases of foraminal herniated disc were excluded. In the event of any doubt regarding presence of differential diagnosis of sciatica other than disc herniation and when there was no in - dication for emergency surgery, patients were referred to neurologists and rheumatologists to rule out any other differential diagnosis such as peripheral neuritis, diabetic polyneuropathy, sensory-motor mixed neuropathy, or other rheumatological and neurological diseases. In this paper, we aimed to estimate
