What is a Sonographer?
A Sonographer, also known as an Ultrasound Technologist, is a specialized medical professional trained to perform diagnostic medical sonography.

What does a Sonographer do?

They operate sophisticated ultrasound equipment, adjust settings for clarity, and capture images or videos of specified areas.
