held by radiologic technicians‚ according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Sonography is a small yet rapidly growing field. In diagnostic imaging‚ there are several procedures that aid doctors in the diagnoses of ailments in patients. Radiology‚ commonly known as x ray‚ uses radiation to produce a picture on a film. Another common imaging method is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‚ which uses giant magnets and radio waves to create an image. However‚ sonography uses sound waves to generate
