The field for Ultrasound Technicians has increased due to advances in diagnostic science utilizing sound waves. There are now a number of fascinating specialities technicians may go into. Ultrasonographers may specialize in neurosonography (brain), echocardiography (heart), abdominal (kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas), OB GYN (female reproduction), and opthalmalogy (eye). This field also comes with fewer risks than using X-ray for diagnosis.
