Ultrasound technology involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to create images of internal body structures. As a career, ultrasound technology, or diagnostic medical sonography, entails operating ultrasound equipment to assist in diagnosing medical conditions. Ultrasound technologists work closely with healthcare teams, capturing images of organs, tissues, and fetuses for medical interpretation. This non-invasive and radiation-free imaging technique is crucial for identifying and monitoring various health conditions, making ultrasound technology a vital and rewarding career in the field of medical diagnostics.

About Eastwick College
As you pass by classrooms, you’ll notice that they’re buzzing with activity: students are on their feet and working together, learning how to perform an echocardiogram, install an air conditioning and refrigeration unit, or assist in a simulated surgery. We haven’t done away with textbooks entirely, of course, but the emphasis is on taking the knowledge learned in those books and applying them in hands-on settings so that students are confident and capable in what they’ve learned. As a result, classrooms often look more like nursing laboratories, operating rooms, or construction zones, with students working with some of the same equipment and techniques they’ll use on the job.
