Diagnostic medical sonographers provide patient services using diagnostic ultrasound under the supervision of a licensed physician. Sonographers look for subtle differences between healthy and pathological areas and decide what images to include in their report. The sonographer may provide this service in a variety of medical settings where the physician is responsible for the use and interpretation of ultrasound procedures.
