A Descriptive Overview about Ultrasound
Technician and Ultrasound Technician Salary
After passing my class-12 board examination I
was very much confused about what to do next and after much consideration I
decided to start my career as an Ultrasound Technician. The main job of
an ultrasound technician is to create photographs of internal organs or
body parts of the patients.
Requirements
To become an ultrasound technician, I
need a bachelor’s degree and have ultrasound or sonography as my main topic. There
are many training centers and among them associate degree certificate program
is the best. This is mainly a 2 year degree course. The quality I should also have
to become a successful ultrasound technician is good communication skill, attentive,
active, good vision, close contact with the patients etc.
Process
The process of this ultrasound test is very
complex. A transducer is placed on the proper position of the patient’s body to
get the best result. The emitted sound waves from the transducer are then
transmitted to the computer and photographs are taken out. After I satisfy with
the pictures, I will pass it to the doctor.
Daily Routine
My
daily routine as an Ultrasound Tech is very hard and need so much
patience. The day begins with consulting with the nursing stuffs about the case
history of the patients and then I should check the equipments properly. After that the tests will start. I need to be
very attentive throughout the day and also help the patients in solving their
problems.
Use
It is mainly used to examine the internal body
parts or organs of the patients which we can’t see in naked eyes. The most
common use of the sonography is to check pregnancy. The growth rate of the
fetus can be checked by using this process. It is also used to check the circulation
of blood flow, rate of heart beat etc.
Salary
An ultrasound technician salary ranges
from $40,000 to $85,000 in a year But the local economic status will affect the
ultrasound technician salary. There are also many various factors
which can affect the ultrasound technician salary like the place of
training, qualification, location, experience etc. I think I can manage a
healthy life style for me and my family with this salary. Moreover the demand
of an ultrasound technician is increasing day by day and from the year 2008 to
2018 the rate is increased by 20 percent. I think this job is very satisfying
for me and I can help the people to a certain extent.
