The required training and education for entry-level positions in diagnostic medical sonography is generally obtained through an associate’s degree, preferably with an accredited institute. Bachelor’s degrees are also available, as well as one-year certificate programs for professionals expanding their current healthcare degree. Most employers require education from an accredited program because of their allotment for clinical training and studies including medical terminology courses and detailed instruction on interpreting ultrasound images. As discussed previously, students choose a specialized field of sonography to study. Certification is then applied to whichever specialized field has been chosen, such as obstetric and gynecologic sonography, abdominal sonography, breast sonography, musculoskeletal sonography, neurosonography and cardiovascular sonography. Although the interviewee Wilma Barniak has many modalities, she mentions, “I have fortunately always been able to find employment in Rad/CT or a Cardiac Cath Lab. I would say these are my most useful certifications.” The job market for cardiovascular technologists and vascular technologists is rapidly growing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a projection of twenty-nine percent in employment between 2010 and 2020 is expected. The authors of Hot Health Care Careers noted, “This technology is increasingly being used to detect heart attacks and heart and

In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary trunk. Blood is then distributed from the right and left pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is unloaded and oxygen is loaded into the blood. The blood is returned from the lungs to the left

As an eight year old student, I entered the annual science fair at school. The subject I chose to observe and research for my project was the human vocal chords. Collectively, my mom, a speech pathologist, and I sat down and watched videos that she had of her own vocal chords being activated and used for communication through speech and language. I was intrigued by the way that they worked and the way they were used to enable communication. My mom taught me about her work as a speech pathologist and how she had studied the vocal chords specifically to help her with the ability to train others who had speech and language impairments and communication disabilities. It was through my research and careful observation of the way that the vocal

Often times we may ignore the signs our body is trying to tell us. Mainly due to fear of the unknown. Our kidneys play an important role in our body. They are used to filter out waste through urination. There are many exams that physicians use to help diagnose renal failure and there are some less commonly used because they have no effect of diagnosis of renal failure. Ultra- sounds are the number one imaging modality to help in diagnosing renal failure and angiography of the kidney is the least used imaging modality. In order to prevent our body from shutting down it is imperative we pay attention to the signs of what our body is trying to tell us.

Explain the term ‘unreliable narrator’. How does this point of view complicate the plot in Poe’s, "The Tell-Tale heart"? An unreliable narrator is a narrator whose credibility has been seriously compromised whether it be in literature, film or theatre. Such as providing faulty, misleading or distorted details. The narrator in this short story is the killer. We really do not get the opportunity to really know the killer such as his name and what his motive is in killing the old man. What we do learn is he displays no guilt and he is not “mad”. He also appears to be proud of what he has done. The killer is very nonchalant in telling how he killed the old man and the reasoning behind doing so has to do with

I am a passionate undergraduate student who is pursuing a clinical doctorate degree in Audiology, as well as a Ph.D in my areas of interest (psychoacoustics, speech development with cochlear implants). I want to impact the Deaf OSU community and the hearing OSU community throughout and past my time at Ohio State. Throughout my collegiate career, I have conducted research with the Psychoacoustic lab, the Western Reserve Reading project with Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Sound Mapping project. For the Psychoacoustic lab, I ran MATLAB and collected data. I collected DNA samples in cooperation with Nationwide Children's, entered data, administered language, reading, and cognitive measures to children and adults with or without language

Escalating advancements in medical technology has been very beneficial in diagnosing patients and providing patients with the best care possible. The use of technology in medicine has saved, extended, and improved lives. Modern day equipment in the medical field is nothing short of remarkable. The merger of technology and medicine has increased quality of life and maintained health. For example, technology has introduced equipment and improved medical research. A sonographer uses a transducer, which involves high frequency sound waves and as they reach internal organs, they are displayed on a screen as an image. This device is simple yet so crucial in ultrasounds because they diagnose the causes of infections, heart disease, blood clots

A heart murmur are harmless, healthy and don’t need a treatment. During a physical exam, doctors know that every child has a heart murmur and can hear the whooshing sound. There are some things that can be abnormal when it can be very damaged by the heart valve which 1/3 of the populations are born with valve problems. This condition is making the heart go faster than it normally would and it can be forced to have the blood goes faster. The causes are anemia, high blood pressure, thyroid, and a fever. Those causes can make the blood flow a lot faster, which can be dangerous if the problems are by the birth defect of the child. The valves open and close by four chambers, two on top and two on bottom. Stenosis, mitral prolapse, congenital, and

I strongly believe that The Tell-Tale Heart is the most inappropriate, violent and hypocritical book middle school students should not be reading! In the book, the narrator--or as we may think of as the killer--watches an old man--with a pale blue eye-- every night about midnight. One, night, he creaks the door open and wakes the man up! Now, the old man is scared, so the narrator stood there for a whole hour,after shining the light in his eye,he smothers the old man and dismembers his body. This is why The Tell-Tale Heart is inappropriate for my age group.

Following the ultrasound and consultation all of her questions were answered in detail. Currently at this time we have not scheduled her back for a follow-up evaluation with us but because of her brother’s history of a congenital heart defect, we would recommend a fetal echocardiogram at around 22 weeks gestation if she continues to progress

It would be better if he gave a clear description of all the activities that are carried out during the exercise and their importance. Some parents may feel that it is not necessary to have the ultra sound screening performed on them to know the sex of the baby and instead prefer to wait until the baby is born to know their sex. However, this might be acceptable but doctors advise that it is always important to perform the screening to be able to know what is happening in their bodies and that of the unborn fetus. Since the introduction of the ultra sound screening in the 1950s, many parents have been able to save the lives of their unborn children and their lives too. Many deaths have been avoided and healthy children are being born every day with fewer complications (Zugaib,

In 1986 Watters et al developed a composite clinical-radiographic-physiologic (CRP) 75 scoring system based on several parameters as dyspnea, chest radiograph, spirometry, lung volume, diffusion capacity, resting alveolar-arterial PO2, and O2 saturation corrected for maximal achieved VO2max in 26 biopsy-proven IPF patients. Scores ranged from 0 to 100 (100 being the most severe disease). The authors looked at the relationship between CRP scores and histopathologic findings, including a cellular pathology score based on abnormalities considered potentially reversible, a fibrotic pathology score based on abnormalities felt to be essentially irreversible, and an index of overall pathologic derangement (total pathology score). The CRP score determined after 6 months of corticosteroid therapy showed a

Sonography has long evolved since the discovery of sonar. Fetal imaging is one of the most recognized ultrasound exams and is constantly being redefined with better technologies and software’s. The Voluson E10 Ultrasound by GE Healthcare allows for doctors to provide accurate monitoring of a fetus. According to GEreports.com, the system has 10 times the data transfer for more speed and higher resolution. It is equipped with a new probe technology called “Electronic 4D.” The transducer uses more than 8,000 piezoelectric crystals to provide clarity and speed. This machine emits signals and process information fast enough to view the heart in real time and watch movements in 3D. The HDlive Silhouette feature allows doctors to study external and internal organs and body parts of the fetus such as the brain, face, hands and feet. Another critical feature in this machine is the HDlive Flow, in which images are produced in 3D allowing doctors to view blood flow and blood vessels. The HDlive Flow is very beneficial as it allows for accurate pictures of veins and arteries in which doctors can monitor and asses a child’s brain and heart development in the first trimester. These features provide an important indication in fetal development because
