Post Graduate Diploma in Ultrasonography

Overview

Ultrasonography or Sonography is a procedure of diagnosing internal conditions of different parts of the body by using high-frequency sound waves which are inaudible to human ears. The sound wave creates a path that processes the waves into videos that help sonographers to exactly know what’s going on inside the patient’s body.
This technology is used to diagnose various medical conditions. It helps to determine heart problems, abdominal health and development of the fetus during pregnancy. In addition to that, it also helps in the diagnosis of brain functions, joints and ligament injuries, etc.
