Neurosonographers use ultrasound technology to focus on the nervous system, including the brain. In neonatal care, neurosonographers study and diagnose neurological and nervous system disorders in premature infants. They also may scan blood vessels to check for abnormalities indicating a stroke in infants diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. Like other sonographers, neurosonographers operate transducers to perform the ultrasound, but use different frequencies and beam shapes than obstetric and abdominal sonographers. \n\nObstetric and gynecologic sonographers specialize in the study of the female reproductive system. This includes one of the more well known uses of sonography: examining the fetus of a pregnant woman to track its growth and health.

What ultrasound salary should I expect?\nThe median annual salary for an ultrasound technician was $48,660 in 2002, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The highest 10 percent of ultrasound tech salaries exceeded $65,000. \nAn ultrasound technologist salary can vary depending on work setting. For example, the 2002 median annual salary for those working in doctor offices was $50,390, while those working in hospitals earned $47,530. \nHow will experience affect my ultrasound salary?\nAs is the case with other professions, ultrasound tech salaries will be lower for entry-level workers and higher for senior positions, such as a chief ultrasound technologist. \nThe annual technician salary for a chief ultrasound technologist ranges from $56,627 to $68,690. \nThe median hourly wage for ultrasound technicians with different experience levels are as follows: less than 1 year, $19; 1 to 3 years, $20.75; 4 to 6 years, $22.73; 7 to 9, $24.33; 10 to 14 years, $25; 15 to 20, $25; more than 20, $26.05. \nWhat other salary considerations should I know about?\nAccording to Ultrasound Jobs, ultrasound technicians can expect lower pay if they're not registered with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS). \nAnother factor for ultrasound tech salaries is the number of specialties you have. The more specialties (abdomen, breast, OB/GYN, etc.), the higher your pay. \nLastly, your employer, background, level of education or certification, and state of residence can all affect your ultrasound salary. http://www.ultrasoundtechnicians.com/sal...\n\nA good way to see what the salaries are in your state is to search job postings. In a Yahoo or Google search, type in Ultrasound Technologist jobs and your state. \n\nSource(s):\n\nMedical sonographer with 12 years experience.....

A "DO" is not a "doctor of obstetrics" but a "doctor of osteopathy." They attend osteopathic medical schools that add physical and alternative treatments similar to chiropractic to the standard curriculum and must pass the same board exams as for a doctor of medicine. \n\n"FACOG" means "Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists." This is board certification in women's medicine and a great credential. It means they have had a residency in OB./GYN, a mimimum number of years in practice and have passed a specific exam for their specialty. (Someone "board eligible" is in this process and also highly qualified.)\n\nThere are subspecialties in fertility, oncology and other types of OB/GYN, so you may want to ask about this training. You would want a reproductive medicine specialist if you are having fertility problems, and MD or DO doesn't matter, the specific training does. \n\nNever be afraid to ask what the initials stand for. "PC" isn't a certification or degree at all, for example , but stands for "professional corporation" and is a business thing, nit a medical one. No decent physician or their staff will hestitate to tell you their credentials and experience, so ask.

Doctors are trained and conditioned to ignore everything that does not align with the AMA agenda. No doctor who wants to practice medicine and continue getting patients is going to jeopardize their meal ticket. \n\nThey often use the argument that there is no studies proving ultrasounds are not safe. However, the absence of such studies does not automatically mean they are safe.

FP as an abbreviation in medicine refers to Family Practice not Forensic Pathologist.\nThe medical examiner is usually an official title of a medical doctor for the county (or region) who investigates suspicious death or illnesses. He may be a pathologist or not. They are often elected officials (like coroner) or may be appointed by the governor.\nThe Forensic Pathologist is a medical doctor who takes special training in the forensic (legal evidence) aspects of injuries, illnesses and deaths. \nThere is not distinction between live, ill or dead patients. \nThey are both doctors.\nA coroner does not need to be a doctor in all jurisdictions and one person can be all three (he can have all three titles).

A radiologist is a doctor that reads or interprets diagnostic imaging films. ie xrays, mammos, cat scans, mris, ultrasound films.  A Radiographer or radiologic technologist takes the xrays.  You go to school for 2 yrs in most states to an accredited program and most graduates now earn an Associates Degree.  You must then sit for your boards from the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists).  If you pass you are then an R.T. (Registered Technologist).  You start out taking plain diagnostic films but there are many specialties to on to.  Nuclear medicine, Radiation Therapy, MRI, CT, Mammos for women.  Most areas of the county you do make a decent salary for only 2 yrs of education.  And its a skill that's always in demand you can always find work anywhere you go.  You will spend 90% of your work day interacting with people.  They are often sick and cranky.  This can be a physically and mentally demanding profession.  But it supported me and my child when I was a single parent.  And my entire family when my husband started his own business.  It is a constantly changing field that if you never lose your basic skills you will  never fail to have gainful employment.  Just like every other career some days you feel you've done a good thing and other days you are completely frustrated and ready to give up.  I hope this helps and wish you luck with whatever career you choose.

Actually, the proper term is called Otolaryngologist.  But most people can't pronounce that, so they use ENT instead.
